Trial Opens for 'Grandpa Robbers' in Kim Kardashian's €10M Heist

Kim Kardashian is set to testify in person at the high-profile trial of the so-called 'grandpa robbers,' accused of stealing $11.4 million worth of jewelry from her during a 2016 armed robbery in Paris. The incident, which French media have called 'the heist of the century,' occurred when masked men entered her luxury hotel room during Paris Fashion Week, taking valuables including a diamond ring gifted by her then-husband, Kanye West. Ten suspects, including Aomar Ait Khedache—who has admitted involvement but denies being the ringleader—are facing charges of armed robbery, kidnapping, and membership in a criminal gang. The trial begins on April 28, with Kardashian scheduled to testify on May 13 and a verdict expected by May 23. This case is considered the largest individual hold-up in France in two decades, highlighting the risks celebrities face due to public exposure of their wealth and whereabouts. The suspects, aged in their late 60s and early 70s, reportedly sold some of the stolen items in Belgium, while others were lost during their escape.
