A verdict was reached in Paris on May 23, finding eight of ten suspects guilty in connection to Kim Kardashian’s 2016 robbery. The suspect group, which held Kardashian at gunpoint and stole millions of dollars’ worth of jewelry, will walk free due to prior convictions.
Kardashian expressed gratitude towards French authorities for pursuing justice in her statement to PEOPLE: “The crime was the most terrifying experience of my life… I believe in the power of growth and accountability.” She also called on victims, innocent people, and those seeking redemption to continue advocating for a fair legal system.
Judge David De Pas criticized the sentences as “quite lenient,” stating that even if no blood was shed or physically harmed, the suspects still caused fear. During her testimony, Kardashian shared harrowing details about the ordeal, including being told she would be raped and repeatedly asked to identify her children.
The trial came after years of anticipation, with Kardashian wanting to testify in person from the start. Despite feeling nervous, she remains committed to advocating for justice and promoting a fair system.
