Four men, including three elderly individuals, have been convicted for the 2016 jewelry heist involving Kim Kardashian in Paris, where they stole valuables worth up to 10 million euros. The robbery occurred during fashion week, involving armed assailants posing as police, who held Kardashian hostage. Although the men received light sentences, none will serve prison time due to previous incarceration. The case, highlighted by prosecutor Anne-Dominique Merville, emphasized the gang's history of crime, dispelling notions of their advanced age as a sign of innocence.
The leaders of the gang, aged in their 60s and 70s, were nicknamed the grandpa robbers by French media. State prosecutor Anne-Dominique Merville warned jurors against being misled by their age, stating they were seasoned criminals.
Kardashian was held hostage at gunpoint, with her hands and feet tied and her mouth taped, during the robbery. The culprits escaped with jewelry valued up to 10 million euros.
Aomar Ait Khedache, 68, regarded as the mastermind of the robbery, received a three-year prison sentence plus five years suspended, yet will not return to actual detention due to time served.
The robbery of Kim Kardashian's jewelry, taking place at her exclusive Paris residence during fashion week, stands as France's largest individual robbery in two decades, worth around 10 million euros.
