Kim Kardashian is set to testify in a Paris courtroom against a group of 10 individuals known as the “grandpa robbers,” who face charges related to a $9 million jewelry heist involving armed robbery and kidnapping. This audacious crime occurred almost nine years ago at the Hôtel de Pourtalès, a luxury venue often visited by celebrities. The suspects, dubbed “grandpa robbers” by French media due to their advanced ages, allegedly impersonated police officers to overpower the concierge and tie up Kardashian in her suite.
In a previous episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians,” Kardashian recounted the chilling details of the break-in, where armed men confronted her just outside her bedroom while demanding information about her then-husband, Ye (formerly Kanye West). Leading up to the robbery, Kardashian had shared her location and displayed a 20-carat diamond ring online, prompting the gang to closely track her social media activity.
Months after the heist, several defendants were arrested following a significant police investigation involving DNA and security footage, but legal proceedings faced numerous delays. Many of the aging suspects now suffer from health issues, and one has passed away while another is deemed unfit for trial. Key figures in this trial include 69-year-old Aomar Ait Khedache, allegedly the mastermind, and his son. Yunice Abbas, a defendant who published a book detailing the incident, has expressed remorse, acknowledging the trauma inflicted on Kardashian. The courtroom proceedings are expected to provide further insights into this shocking crime that gripped international media attention.
