Kim K’s Bold Courtroom Statement: Flashing Diamonds at Paris Heist Trial with Mom Kris by Her Side

BBG News

Kim Kardashian adorned extravagant diamond jewelry while readying herself to give testimony at the trial of a suspected gang linked to the armed robbery that occurred in her Paris hotel room back in 2016.

On Tuesday afternoon, the 44-year-old influencer walked into the courtroom accompanied by her mom, Kris Jenner.

The individuals under scrutiny are alleged to have bound a famous billionaire with zip ties and duct tape, subsequently stealing valuable jewelry, such as a $4 million engagement ring that rapper Kanye West (formerly known as Ye) had presented to her when they were married, according to the investigators.

On Tuesday morning, prior to Kardashian’s court appearance, numerous reporters lined up to enter the courthouse.

In a 2020 conversation with David Letterman, Kardashian shared details about the robbery, choking back tears as she spoke about her terror and fear of being sexually assaulted during that incident.

‘They kept on saying ‘the ring, the ring’,’ Kardashian said.

She went on, “I couldn’t stop watching the hotel staff member,” she said, meaning the hotel employee, who under duress from a gunman, guided the group to her apartment.

I found myself exclaiming, ‘Are we going to perish? Let them know I have kids, I need to return home.’

As an ardent admirer, I’m compelled to share my take on Yunice Abbas’ statement: At 71 years old, finding myself among the accused in this high-profile trial, often referred to as ‘the grandpa gang,’ I feel it’s crucial to clarify a point. When we were involved in the robbery, none of us recognized who Kim Kardashian was.

In an interview on C8 TV several years ago, Abbas clarified that it was not her (Kardashian) they were after, but rather her diamond. Now, Abbas has openly acknowledged his involvement in the robbery and even wrote a book detailing his part in the crime. In conversations with French media outlets, he expressed remorse for his actions and expressed a desire to apologize to Kardashian personally. However, since plea bargains are not applicable in such cases, Abbas is still facing trial, despite his admission of guilt related to the robbery.

Lawyer Frank Berton, who represents 68-year-old Aomar Ait Khedache, known as ‘Omar the Old,’ expressed last month that he hopes Kim Kardashian’s worldwide fame won’t influence the upcoming trial. Khedache is charged with leading the gang, a claim he strongly denies.

Berton stated that the trial has gained global interest due to the identity of the plaintiff, who also serves as the victim.

He expressed that he hopes there will be no impact on how the facts are evaluated or determined. (Reported by Ingrid Melander, edited by Michael Perry)
