Overview
- Prosecutors placed a 38-year-old woman under formal investigation on Saturday on suspicion of complicity in organized armed robbery and criminal association.
- A second person was also indicted Saturday after arrests midweek, while three of the five detained on Wednesday were released.
- Two men aged 34 and 39 had already been charged after partially admitting involvement, with one stopped at Charles de Gaulle airport before a flight to Algeria and the other arrested near his home in Aubervilliers.
- Investigators cite surveillance footage, phone records, and DNA evidence, including traces found on an escape scooter, in tying suspects to the theft.
- The jewels taken in a seven-minute daytime raid have not been recovered, as police probe parallel markets and note that a diamond-and-emerald crown was dropped during the getaway.
