Overview

• Didier Dubreucq died on June 26 in France at age 69, one month after a Paris court found him guilty of participating in the 2016 armed robbery of Kim Kardashian
• He was handed a seven-year prison sentence in May, with five years suspended, and avoided further jail time by crediting two years served in pretrial detention
• Nicknamed “Blue Eyes,” Dubreucq consistently denied involvement and sent a letter through his lawyer to protest the conviction after the verdict
• During the Paris Fashion Week heist, Kardashian was bound and gagged in her hotel suite as robbers stole about $12 million in jewelry, including her 18.88-carat engagement ring
• Cancer-related hospitalizations delayed Dubreucq’s trial appearances and kept him from attending the guilty verdict hearing
