Paris: The trial of ten individuals accused of robbing Kim Kardashian in Paris in 2016 kicked off on April 28, 2025, in a tense courtroom setting.
The suspects, dubbed the "grandpa robbers" by the French media, face charges ranging from armed robbery to kidnapping, with ages spanning from 35 to 78. The highly anticipated trial is expected to run until May 23, with Kardashian herself scheduled to testify on May 13.
The notorious heist took place during Paris Fashion Week in 2016, when Kardashian was held at gunpoint in her rented suite by a group of masked men who made off with millions of euros in jewelry. The case, which has captivated global media, saw Kardashian, 44, later revealing her fears of being murdered during the harrowing ordeal.
Despite the intense legal proceedings, Kardashian remains focused on her business empire, continuing to make appearances and highlight her ongoing work.
