Overview

• The trial, starting April 28, 2025, involves nine men and one woman charged with the 2016 armed robbery of Kim Kardashian during Paris Fashion Week.
• Kardashian was tied up and robbed in her hotel suite, with thieves stealing €9 million in jewelry, including a €3.5 million engagement ring.
• Key suspect Omar le vieux, identified through DNA evidence, admitted to binding Kardashian but denies masterminding the heist, alleging a sponsor and informant were involved.
• The stolen jewelry remains mostly unrecovered, with investigators tracing much of it to a Belgian diamond network disrupted by the death of alleged fence Marceau Baum-Gartner in March 2025.
• Kardashian, who described the robbery as a life-altering trauma, is expected to testify at the Paris Cour d’assises on May 13, with a verdict anticipated by May 23.
