Trial Begins in Paris for 10 Suspects in Kim Kardashian's $10 Million Robbery

The trial of ten suspects accused of robbing Kim Kardashian at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week in 2016 has begun in Paris, with Kardashian scheduled to testify in person. The high-profile theft, considered the largest against a private individual in France in two decades, saw $10 million worth of jewelry stolen, including a diamond engagement ring valued at $4 million. The suspects, mostly elderly men with long criminal records, allegedly targeted Kardashian after learning her whereabouts and exploiting a moment when her bodyguard was absent. Investigators believe Kardashian's social media activity, which frequently showcased her wealth and location, may have aided the perpetrators. Much of the stolen jewelry was never recovered, with authorities suspecting it was sold in Belgium, though only a diamond necklace dropped during the escape was found. The trial is also examining how the suspects received inside information about Kardashian's stay and the role of possible informants.
