Kim Kardashian Robbery Trial Begins in Paris Nearly 9 Years After $10M Jewel Heist
Kim Kardashian Robbery Trial Alleged 'Grandpa Robbers' Face Delayed Justice
Kim Kardashian is finally seeing the wheels of justice turn in her robbery case ... Ten people are going on trial today, accused of sticking her up at gunpoint nine years ago in France.
Kim is expected to travel to Paris and testify May 13th. She's explained in horrifying detail how the robbers broke into her hotel suite, pushed her on the bed, tied her up with plastic cables, taped her hands, and then blindfolded her at gunpoint. She was put in the bathtub as the robbers made off with $10 million in jewels.
It was so traumatic, Kim told cops she thought she was going to be raped.

So much time has passed since the theft that one of the suspects, Yunice Abbas, was able to write the novel detailing his experience robbing one of the most famous people on the planet.

Abbas wrote that after the heist he went home to get some shut eye, but his wife had already watched news reports about the hold up and confronted him, saying, "This has you written all over it." She hit the nail right on the head. Abbas also reportedly told a French news station that the "big job was to be the last."
Abbas and his 9 cohorts were allegedly part of a team of "Grandpa Robbers" who got their moniker due to their ages ranging from their 60s to 80s.
Authorities were shocked at how brazen the robbers were, posing as police officers and forced their way into Kim's luxury apartment back in October 2016.

Three months later, police tracked down and arrested the alleged perpetrators, five of whom allegedly participated directly in the heist, and they were charged with armed robbery and kidnapping. The others are accused of being accessories.

Now, the "Grandpa Robbers" will appear in a Paris courtroom Monday for the start of their trial, which is expected to last about three weeks with Kim as the star witness.
Abbas and an accomplice, Aomar Ait Khedache, have confessed to the robbery. One suspect died recently, and still another is suffering from advanced dementia, so it's up in the air whether he'll stand trial.
