In France, ten individuals are on trial for allegedly perpetrating an armed robbery against a reality TV star in 2016. This incident marks a significant case linked to the darker side of fame, reminiscent of the 1970s criminal culture depicted in films like The French Connection. Aomar Ait Khedache, a criminal who began his career during that era, exemplifies the harsh realities faced by those involved in organized crime, where the glamorous image often hides a brutal fate.
"When Aomar Ait Khedache started his criminal career in 1970s Paris, he was warned that the life of an armed robber was likely to be brutal and short."
"This was the decade when films such as The French Connection and Flic Story were glamorising Gallic mobsters who swanned around like pushy tycoons one day before ending up with a bullet in the head the next."
