Kim Kardashian Testifies Against ‘Grandpa Robbers’ in $10M Paris Trial

Kim Kardashian is set to testify in a Paris court nearly a decade after a 2016 armed robbery during Paris Fashion Week, where she was tied up and millions of dollars worth of jewellery, including her $4 million engagement ring, were stolen. Ten suspects, mainly older men nicknamed the “grandpa robbers,” are on trial facing charges including armed robbery and kidnapping, with two having confessed part of their involvement. The robbery was reportedly inspired by Kardashian’s social media posts showcasing her jewellery, and a tip-off allegedly alerted the robbers to her presence in Paris. During the crime, Kardashian was held at gunpoint, bound, gagged, and carried to a bathtub in her hotel apartment, an ordeal that left her traumatized and cautious about sharing her lavish lifestyle publicly. The trial has attracted significant media attention, with Kardashian's lawyers stating she is prepared to confront her alleged attackers with dignity and courage. The case also highlights the challenges of a delayed legal process, as some suspects have died or become too ill to stand trial.
