Ten people are being brought to trial suspected of involvement in the robbery – all are men in their 60s and 70s. The reality TV profile is to attend in person in Paris and testify on May 13. The trial is expected to last until May 23. It is expected to provide answers, among other things, on how the robbers knew where Kim Kardashian was and how they managed to strike exactly when the star's bodyguard was away.
Kim Kardashian was attacked by several men who broke into the suite at Hôtel de Pourtalès, where they tied her up, taped her mouth shut, and searched the suite for valuables. She was robbed of jewelry worth ten million dollars, including her engagement ring worth several million.
Kardashian managed to free herself when the robbers left the hotel room.
It was not a major armed robbery, but a lighter one, says one of the main suspects, 68-year-old Aomar Ait Khedache, known as "Old Omar".
In January 2017, 17 people were arrested for involvement in the crime, mainly thanks to DNA evidence. One of them, Yunice Abbas, who was in the hotel reception and threatened a receptionist with his weapon, has said that he will apologize to Kim Kardashian during the trial.
