Ten years In Prison Demanded For Robbery Of Kim Kardashian

French justice has demanded a ten-year prison sentence for Aomar Aït Khedache, the man who, according to the Public Prosecutor, gave the order for the armed robbery of Kim Kardashian in Paris in 2016.

Khedache, who is now 69, admits that he was involved in the robbery. He does deny that he was in charge of the group of robbers. But according to the prosecutor, he was the one who gave the orders and recruited them.

Kardashian was in Paris in 2016 for Paris Fashion Week. When she wanted to go to sleep at night, five armed men broke into her hotel room. They tied her up with cable ties and held her at gunpoint. In the end, the robbers stole around 9 million euros worth of jewelry, including the diamond wedding ring that the reality star had received from her then husband Ye.

Kardashian testified in the Paris court earlier this month. She said she feared for her life. At that moment I knew for sure they were going to shoot me, the emotional Kardashian said. So I prayed for my family, my mother, my sister and my best friend.

The reality star also talked about the consequences the robbery had for her and her family. Kardashian said she was left with trauma from the event.

Two of the ten suspects, who are also called the Grandpa Gang because of their old age, had previously confessed to their involvement in the robbery.

In addition to Khedache, 72-year-old Yunice Abbas also confessed to involvement. He wrote a book entitled J’ai séquestré Kim Kardashian (I kidnapped Kim Kardashian, ed.).

Initially, there were twelve suspects, but in March one of them, 72-year-old Marceau Baum-Gertner, died. Another suspect is too ill to appear in court.

The sentences demanded against the other suspects are not yet known.
