A group of men dubbed the “grandpa robbers” stand trial on Monday on charges of robbing reality TV star Kim Kardashian at gunpoint and stealing jewelry worth millions of euros during Paris Fashion Week nearly a decade ago, Reuters reports.
Several of the accused were of or near retirement age at the time of the 2016 heist, which was considered when it happened to be the biggest robbery involving an individual in France for more than 20 years.
Kardashian will travel to Paris in May to give evidence in the trial, which will run for almost a month, her lawyer said.
The suspects, wearing ski masks and clothes with police markings, tied up the billionaire celebrity with zip ties and duct tape, before making off with a $4 million engagement ring given to her by her then-husband, rapper Kanye West (now known as Ye), and other jewels, according to investigators.
