Kim Kardashian is expected to take the stand in a Paris courtroom to testify against ten men accused of orchestrating the infamous 2016 robbery during which she was bound and held at gunpoint.
The traumatic incident took place in her hotel suite, where masked attackers restrained her with zip ties and locked her in a marble bathroom before stealing jewelry valued at over six million dollars.
Kardashian is set to share a detailed and emotional account of the event, marking what is anticipated to be the most dramatic moment in a trial that began last month. Her testimony will focus on the terrifying ordeal, including how she feared for her life and worried she might never see her children again.
Court authorities are implementing heightened security in anticipation of large crowds. A second courtroom equipped with a video feed has been arranged to accommodate the media.
Of the original twelve suspects charged, one has passed away, and another has been excused due to illness. Most of the accused are elderly, earning the nickname “les papys braqueurs” or “the grandpa robbers” in the French press. Despite their age, investigators describe them as a well-organized and experienced criminal gang.
