Prosecutors in Paris have announced two more people have been charged in the robbery of the Louvre Museum last month, bringing the total number of suspects to four.
Seven people have been arrested in connection with the world-famous gallery placed under siege Oct. 19, as a group of four broke into the Louvre’s Apollo Gallery and stole 88 million Euros worth of jewelry ($102 million).
The attack, which took place in broad daylight, lasted less than eight minutes.

A 37-year-old man was also arrested, and is facing charges of theft and criminal conspiracy, according to the report.
Both suspects, whose identities have not been released, have denied any involvement, the BBC reported.
The magistrate judge on Saturday ruled that the two suspects should be kept in custody as the case is being investigated, amid concerns that they may attack others to destroy evidence, said the official.

Two other suspects who were previously arrested were charged with criminal conspiracy and theft by an organized group.
One of the suspects, a 34-year-old Algerian who has lived in France since 2010, was caught at Charles de Gaulle airport while trying to flee to Algeria on a one-way ticket, according to prosecutor Laure Beccuau.

Another suspect, a 39-year-old man who also lives in Aubarvilliers, was arrested at his house and has a record of previous thefts, said BecCuau.
