Paris Court Convicts Eight Over 2016 Kim Kardashian Robbery

Nearly a decade after Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room during Fashion Week in 2016, a French court has concluded the case by sentencing eight individuals found guilty of the heist. The seven men and one woman, all elderly and nicknamed the “Grandpa Robbers,” received prison terms ranging from three to eight years, but none are expected to return to jail due to time already served and their poor health. Kardashian, who testified during the trial and described fearing for her life, expressed deep gratitude to the French authorities for pursuing justice and emphasized her commitment to advocating for a fair legal system. The stolen items included millions of dollars worth of jewelry, notably a $4 million engagement ring from then-husband Kanye West. Two other individuals accused of providing information to the robbers were acquitted. The court acknowledged the leniency of the sentences given the absence of physical violence and the defendants' advanced age and medical conditions.
