Kim Kardashian robbery trial: verdict expected in Paris
Briefly

Aomar Ait Khedache, one of the alleged masterminds behind the 2016 robbery of Kim Kardashian, expressed remorse in court while denying his role, blaming an imaginary accomplice. The trial involves ten elderly defendants charged with organized armed robbery, who became known as the 'Grandpa robbers.' During the heist, they impersonated police officers and used crude methods, leaving behind DNA evidence that led to their arrest within months. Some gang members, like Yunice Abbas, have publicly spoken about the theft, citing the allure of Kardashian's expensive jewelry as a motivation.
"It might sound funny, but this was armed robbery, violence, and bondage. It's serious regardless of the age of the accused," said the lawyer for the doorman.
Yunice Abbas, one of the robbers, reflecting on the heist, stated, "I told myself this was the last time, but a 20-karat diamond with no protection? That was tempting."
