Kim Kardashian Robbery Trial: Abbas Admits Lookout Role

Yunice Abbas, a 72-year-old self-confessed lookout, is among ten defendants on trial in Paris for the 2016 armed robbery of Kim Kardashian, in which more than $9–10 million in jewelry remains unrecovered. Abbas has expressed regret for his role, emphasizing the trauma caused to Kardashian and the negative impact on his family. He told the court that media scrutiny and reflection made him recognize the consequences of his actions, contrasting with his previously perceived lack of remorse. Abbas denied directly threatening Kardashian during the crime and stressed he acted only as a lookout, though he admitted overall responsibility. The trial has also examined Abbas' criminal history and difficult upbringing. Kim Kardashian is expected to testify later in the proceedings.
