Several suspects were brought before an investigative judge on preliminary charges in the Louvre jewels heist case on Saturday, French media reported, three days after they were arrested by police as part of the sweeping probe.
News broadcaster BFM TV and Le Parisien newspaper said a 38-year-old woman is facing preliminary charges of complicity of theft by an organized gang and criminal conspiracy. The lawyer for the woman, Adrien Sorrentino, told reporters the judge decided to send her to prison and that she strongly denied being involved.
