Paris prosecutor reports 4 more arrests in connection with Louvre jewel heist
- On Tuesday, Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau announced four more people—two men and two women from the Paris region—were detained in connection with the Louvre crown-jewels robbery.

- The new suspects join four other people detained in late October who will be questioned by investigators, while Paris Prosecutor Laure Beccuau did not specify their suspected roles.
- The stolen collection includes historic pieces tied to Napoleon and 19th-century queens, such as Napoleon's diamond-and-emerald necklace given to Empress Marie-Louise, and Empress Eugénie's pearl-and-diamond tiara; the missing loot has not been recovered amid the ongoing probe.
