Lawyers expressed relief and satisfaction after eight people were convicted for the 2016 armed robbery of Kim Kardashian in Paris — a $10 million jewellery heist that left her traumatised.
Ringleader Aomar Aït Khedache received an eight-year sentence, mostly suspended. His lawyer said, “We are really relieved, even if we are exhausted.” Kardashian’s lawyer added that she had wanted justice, and now “she can move on with her life.”
The verdict followed a four-week trial nearly a decade after the crime. Dubbed “the grandpa robbers,” the elderly suspects targeted Kardashian while she was alone during Paris Fashion Week.
