Three people have been charged over the Paris jewellery heist which targeted Kim Kardashian.
French prosecutors said more charges are expected to follow as they continued to investigate the raid.
Armed raiders are believed to have forced their way into the private apartment where Ms Kardashian was staying during Paris Fashion Week in October, tied up the reality TV star and stole £8.1 million of jewellery.
Authorities are focusing on the possibility that the robbery was an inside job.
A 63-year-old suspect, named by prosecutors only as Yunice A, is charged with armed robbery in a n organised gang, kidnapping and criminal association.
A 44-year-old, named as Florus H, has had complicity charges in the alleged robbery and kidnapping, as well as a criminal association charge, filed against him.
The third suspect, 64-year-old Marceau B, faces preliminary charges of handling stolen goods and criminal association.
Prosecutors have requested that the suspects are kept in detention.
A fourth suspect, named as 27-year-old Gary M, was also due to appear before a judge for possible charges.
Gary Madar, 27, is the brother of Ms Kardashian’s Paris chauffeur Michael Madar. Both worked for the same car service company, and Michael Madar was freed earlier this week.
Six other people remain in custody and could face preliminary charges on Friday.
Earlier, French authorities released three men and a woman who were among 17 suspects detained on Monday.
