French authorities filed the first charges against four suspects in the armed jewelry heist, with more charges expected to follow, the Paris prosecutors' office said Thursday.

The group are accused of being those who forced their way into the secret hotel were Kim was staying, tying her up and stealing more than $10 million worth of jewellery at gun point.

According to the Associated Press, a 63-year-old suspect, named by the prosecutors only as Yunice A., was handed preliminary charges of armed robbery in an organized gang, kidnapping and criminal association.

A third suspect, 64-year-old Marceau B., faced preliminary charges of handling stolen goods and criminal association.

All three remain in detention.

Complicity charges and a preliminary criminal association charge also were filed for 27-year-old Gary M., the prosecutors' office said. He, however, was released from custody, although he remains under judicial supervision.

Gary Madar, 27, is the brother of Kardashian West's Paris chauffeur, Michael Madar. Both worked for the same car service company, but Michael Madar was freed earlier this week.

Six other people remained in custody and could face preliminary charges on Friday.

Earlier, French authorities released three men and a woman who were among 17 suspects detained Monday.
