Kim Kardashian robbery suspects to appear in Paris court as trial begins
Briefly

A trial is set to begin in Paris for ten individuals charged with the daring theft of millions in jewellery from Kim Kardashian during the 2016 fashion week. Kardashian, who faced a traumatic ordeal being held at gunpoint in her rented suite, will testify in May. The suspects, mostly elderly with criminal histories, have been dubbed the 'grandpa robbers' by the media, and prosecutors allege that the heist was carefully orchestrated following previous meetings. This robbery, one of the largest in two decades in France, raises questions about celebrity security and social media exposure.
