French authorities identified the new suspects as a 37-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman. They were charged with organized robbery and conspiracy to commit organized robbery and were remanded in custody.
Additionally, three of the five people arrested on October 29 have been released, prosecutors said.
On October 19, four masked thieves stole eight pieces of jewelry from the Louvre, the most visited museum in the world, which were valued at 102 million dollars. The robbery, which authorities say lasted only seven minutes, sparked a national outcry and nationwide persecution.
Stolen jewelry remains missing, authorities say.
