Guilty verdicts for 8 of 10 charged with armed robbery of Kim Kardashian

  • A Paris court found eight of ten defendants guilty in the armed robbery and kidnapping of Kim Kardashian at Hotel de Pourtals during Fashion Week on October 2-3, 2016.
  • The robbery occurred when gangsters dressed as police forced entry, tied Kardashian with zip-ties, and stole over $10 million in jewelry including a $4 million ring from Kanye West.
  • The four-week trial ended after an 11-hour jury deliberation led by three judges, convicting the ringleader Aomar Ait Khedache, aged 69, and seven accomplices, while acquitting two accused informants.
  • Sentences ranged up to eight years but were mostly suspended due to time served, so none of the convicted elderly defendants, nicknamed the 'Grandpa robbers,' will return to prison.
  • Kardashian described the heist as 'the most terrifying experience of my life,' forgave the ringleader, and expressed gratitude to French authorities while continuing advocacy for justice reform.
