Kim Kardashian will never forget when she was robbed in a hotel in Paris in October 2016 before 3 a.m. When recounting the events, she explains how the five robbers handcuffed and zip-tied her at gunpoint. They also taped over her mouth and eyes with duct tape and left her in the bathroom of her hotel suite. The robbers took Kardashian’s $10 million jewelry collection, which included a $4 million ring from Kanye “Ye” West.
There are currently 12 defendants in the case — 11 men and one woman. Aomar Aït Khedach, 69, admitted to leading the gang, and Yunice Abbas, 72, wrote a book about robbing Kardashian.
