Everything happened on October 2 to 3, 2016 when Kardashian, who was then 35 years old, was assaulted in the room of a discreet and exclusive hotel in the center of Paris, where he attended the fashion week of the fashion capital. The thieves threatened her with a gun in the head and tied and gagged her. Masked men fled with millions of dollars in jewelry, including the diamond ring of 3.5 million euros that the rapper gave Kanye Westher husband at that time.

Kardashian’s lawyers did not advance what his represented in the trial will declare, for which there are almost half a thousand accredited journalists.

At the time, the French press described the event as “the theft of the century” because it is considered the greatest robbery of a person in France in the last 20 years.

On the bench of the defendants, men between 60 and 70 years with criminal records feel mostly. They respond to nicknames such as ‘the old Omar’ or ‘blue eyes’ that remind thieves to the former French black cinema of 1960 and 1970. “They are all professionals,” said the researcher Michel Malecot. “But they made some mistakes,” such as leaving DNA traces that allowed their identification.

Aomar Ait Khedacheknown as ‘The old Omar’, 68, admitted to having tied Kardashian, but denies being the brain behind the blow.

Researcher Michel Malecot said a man named Gary MadarKardashian’s driver’s brother in Paris, warned the suspects that the star was “in French territory.”

The lawyer of this suspect ridiculed this accusation pointing out that the 350 million followers of Kardashian’s social networks perfectly knew their whereabouts.

The night of theft in question could have been very different. As counted in court last week, Kim weighs to party with his sister Kourtneybut finally decided to stay at the hotel.

Its driver Michael Madarwhose company invoiced the Kardashian/West couple more than $ 400,000 annually, had been working without stopping 21 hours and asked a partner to replace him on the way to the nightclub. But his substitute Mohammed Q. and Kardashian’s bodyguard, Pascal D.they quickly returned to the hotel after the star, who tried to call them, did not respond to the phone when they returned the call. “I saw that the elevator was on the first floor, where Kim was staying,” he told the Pascal Court D.

When they found her, the ‘influencer’ was “in a terrible state. He cried hysterically, ”he told the court. “I asked what had happened and said they had stolen him,” he added.

Kardashian’s lawyers said she is “genuinely grateful” for the way in which the French authorities managed the investigation, showing him “the utmost respect and consideration.”

The trial for the robbery will culminate on May 23.
