Kim Kardashian Testifies Against “Grandpa Robbers” in Paris Jewel Heist
Paris, France: Nearly nine years after a highly publicized robbery, Kim Kardashian returned to Paris to testify against a group of aging thieves who allegedly stole $6 million worth of jewelry. Dubbed the “grandpa robbers,” the suspects, mostly in their 60s and 70s, are accused of posing as police and breaking into Kardashian’s private residence during Paris Fashion Week. Kardashian described fearing for her life as she was bound and gagged, handing over prized items like a diamond ring she had showcased on social media. French authorities believe her online posts made her an easy target, pushing the hospitality industry to upgrade security for VIP guests. Despite the advanced age of the suspects, the court heard how they used cunning tactics to track her movements.
