The Kim Kardashian flight flight trial begins in Paris

Ten people linked to a group nicknamed the “grandfather” were tried on Monday in Paris for accusations that they plotted and made a cheeky theft against Kim Kardashian almost a decade.

The accused held before a criminal court in Paris, accused of participation in a violent attack on Ms. Kardashian, reality TV star and entrepreneur. Prosecutors attributed crime to a group of graying criminals, some of whom are now in the 1970s.

Ms. Kardashian, now aged 44, was gagged, attached and stolen under the threat of jewelry in a luxury residence she had rented during the Paris Fashion Week in October 2016. At the time, jewelry was estimated at least 8 million euros, or more than $ 9 million.

The night flight of an eminent American celebrity shocked a lot and raised security problems for tourists in Paris, which was still traumatized by a series of terrorist attacks.

Five men disguised as police officers and wearing hoods organized the flight. The thieves burst into his residence and forced the night’s goalkeeper to guide two to Ms. Kardashian’s apartment and translate.

They attached it and took values ​​and jewelry, including a diamond engagement ring of $ 4 million from her husband of the time, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, before leaving on foot and by bicycle. Most jewelry was not recovered, although a cross inlaid with diamonds was abandoned in the street during their escape.
