Kim Kardashian to Testify at Paris Trial for 2016 Robbery

Kim Kardashian, the star and businesswoman of reality shows, is scheduled to testify Tuesday in the Court of Paris, where he will face the so -called “grandparents’ thieves” who are accused of violently stealing him in the French capital almost a decade.

Mrs. Kardashian is expected to explain how she was gagged, tied with tape and strips, and swing at a gunpoint in a residence that interested the duration of Paris Fashion Week in October 2016.

Mrs. Kardashian, 44, described in previous interviews the trauma she suffered when the men dressed as police officers and with Balaclavas broke into the property and stole value of value, including a diamond commitment ring of $ 4 million.

But its appearance in court on Tuesday will mark the only time it is expected to take the position and face the men accused of stealing it.

From Dawn, dozens of journalists and curious spectators who expected to take a look or Mrs. Kardashian had aligned to enter the courtroom to sit in the public gallery. According to French law, cameras are not allowed in court.

Theo Chbouki, a 18 -year -old fashion student on the line, said it was the first time he attended a criminal trial and was curious to see Mrs. Kardashian in an environment of “serious” real life, without the brilliant chapa of social networks or reality television.

“It’s iconic to see Kim Kardashian in a trial in Paris,” he said.

Several of the defendants in the trial, nine men and a woman, are between 60 and 70 years old, and have described the legs by prosecutors as career criminals.

Some have a leg loaded with armed robbery in an organized gang, kidnapping and other charges. Others have been accused or complicated or minor charges. The trial, which will be decided by three judges and a jury of six people, will last until the end of May.

Most of the defendants have denied participation in the robbery. At that time, it was estimated that stolen jewels are worth at least 8 million euros, or at $ 9 million.

“I think that moment changed his life forever,” Simone Herouche, a friend of Mrs. Kardashian, told the court, who was her fashion stylist at that time.

Mrs. Herouche testified that Mrs. Kardashian had improved her private security after theft and changed her habits in social networks, where she has hundreds of millions of followers. Prosecutors believe that thieves attacked Mrs. Kardashian because she had shown some of her online jewels.

“Nothing that publishes is in real time,” said Herouche.

Mrs. Herouche was the only other person in the residence with the reality shows that night, and remembered at the event sleeping at the event until the EM startled her. Kardashian shouted that he had children and wanted to live.

“It was a sound I never heard from Kim, it was terror,” said Mrs. Herouche, whose room was a floor under Mrs. Kardashian. He recalled how the anguished celebrity climbed the stairs, her ankles tied with adhesive tape, once the thieves left.

“He was out of herself,” Herouche added. “I had never seen her like that before.”

The researchers found DNA on the tape and the postal ties that were used to join the EM. Kardashian’s hands and feet, and the police arrested several suspects after three months of telephone and surveillance listening.
