- On Wednesday, French prosecutors urged a court to sentence Aomar Ait Khedache, the alleged mastermind, to 10 years for the 2016 robbery of Kim Kardashian in a Paris hotel.
- The defendants, ten in total, are charged with armed robbery and sequestration, with eight proclaiming innocence despite the prosecutor's firm conviction of their guilt.
- Masked and gloved attackers threatened Kardashian at gunpoint, tied her up, and stole about $10 million in valuables including a 3.9 million dollar diamond ring from Kanye West.
- Khedache, 69, admitted tying up Kardashian but denies leading the robbery while prosecutors assert he recruited others and sold jewelry in Belgium, with sentencing requests for others expected later.
- Most accused are elderly men dubbed the 'Grandpa robbers' with several ailing defendants; the court will consider their health as the verdict is expected Friday with some facing up to 30 years.
