It has emerged that another defendant, Marceau Baum-Gertner, 72, “died suddenly” in Paris on March 6 after threats by criminals suspected of buying the reality star’s stolen gems.

Three of the gang, dressed as cyclists in fluorescent yellow vests, approached the hotel and parked their bikes in the courtyard.
Two more arrived on foot, and all were wearing black balaclavas and police armbands before they confronted the property’s only concierge, Abderrahmane Ouatiki.
