Eight individuals, referred to as 'grandpa robbers', were convicted in the high-profile 2016 robbery and kidnapping of Kim Kardashian in Paris. The court's guilty verdict follows an extensive investigation, utilizing DNA evidence and wiretaps. The assailants, aged mostly between late 50s and early 60s, executed the theft, resulting in $9 million in jewelry stolen from Kardashian. After numerous delays in court, many of the accused now face health issues. Kardashian's harrowing testimony underscored the fear she experienced during the incident, highlighting the robbery's impact on her.
After nearly ten years of delays in court proceedings, most of the robbers are now in their late 60s and 70s and suffering maladies including cancers, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's.
The 44-year-old Kardashian, on the other hand, was as resplendent as ever in the courtroom - a contrast to her gut-wrenching testimony about how she was thrown onto a bed, zip-tied, and had a gun pressed to her on the night of Oct. 2, 2016.
I absolutely did think I was going to die. I have babies. I have to make it home. They can take everything. I just have to make it home.
The accused became known in France as 'les papys braqueurs' - the grandpa robbers.
