Kim Kardashian to testify in 2016 Robbery case
The news was made public by her attorney, a source stated. Ten suspects for armed robbery, kidnapping or other criminal offenses are facing trial in Paris between April 28 and May 23.
The October 2016 theft occurred in a Paris apartment where Kardashian was visiting for Paris Fashion Week.
Kardashian has talked about the traumatic experience in the past, as she did on an episode of her reality television show Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2017. She described how she woke up in the middle of the night hearing the footsteps and then was bound and held hostage at gunpoint.
What Actually Happened?
“Through the door, I saw two people arrive, plus the night man who was tied up,” she recalled, as quoted by People magazine.
“They dragged me out onto the hallway on top of the stairs,” Kardashian recounted, adding, “That’s when I saw the gun clear, like clear as day. I was kind of looking at the gun, looking down back at the stairs.”Reflecting on her moment of fear, she added, “I had a split second to decide do I try to run? But if I do, they might shoot me in the back. It makes me so upset to think about it.”
The heist was widely covered during the time, with people making guesses about how the thieves were able to access Kardashian’s apartment.
