A French court is set to deliver its final verdict today in the high-profile trial of ten people accused of robbing American reality star Kim Kardashian of $10 million worth of jewelry in Paris back in 2016.
Among the accused are four men charged with carrying out the armed robbery, for whom prosecutors have demanded 10-year prison sentences. The incident, dubbed one of the largest robberies targeting an individual in France in two decades, shocked the world after masked men tied Kardashian up, held her at gunpoint, and stole luxury jewelry including a $3.9 million diamond ring.
The robbery took place in a private apartment in Paris on October 2-3, 2016, while Kardashian was attending Paris Fashion Week. She told the court she feared she would be raped and killed. “I thought I was going to die,” she said.
