8 Discovered in Paris by Kim Kardashian’s jewelry robbery; 2 defendants acquitted

Paris – After a month of trial, eight of them 10 people accused of robbery Billionaire celebrity Kim Kardashian In Paris in 2016, he was convicted on Friday.

The leader and seven other people involved in the robbery were found guilty but would not return to prison. The court acquitted two defendants accused of distributing information about Kardashian’s whereabouts.

Aomar Aït Khedache, 69, was sentenced to a maximum sentence of eight years in prison. Five of those years were probation. He will not return to custody because he is already serving his sentence in prison.

The other three were charged with the worst charges – Yunis Abbas, Didier Dubreucq and Marc-Alexandre Boyer – each with seven years, five of which were suspended. Like Khedache, they won’t return to custody. Dubreucq, 69, was not sentenced for receiving chemotherapy for cancer.

Prosecutors called on the four to face a 10-year sentence. Chief Justice David de Pas said the accused’s age – the oldest was 79, while others in the 1960s and 1970s – weighed the court’s decision not to sentence them to a harsh sentence for sending them to prison. Boyer, 35, is the only young man involved in the crime.

“It’s unfair to send you to prison tonight,” DePas said, who also considered sentencing for the nine years between the robbery and the trial.

Still, he said Kardashian suffered a robbery at her hotel.

“Even if you don’t have a physical impact and the blood doesn’t overflow, it can cause harm,” DePas said. “You’re causing fear.”

Kardashian attended Fashion Week in Paris in October 2016 and stayed at a discreet hotel in the heart of the city. Ten days ago, in four and a half hours of emotional four-hour testimony, she told the Paris Court that she “absolutely” “believed that she would be “rape and killed” and that she grabbed her legs when an armed, masked robber grabbed her legs and then lay on the bed.

Her zipper tie and tape were tied to the bathroom, while the robbers searched for the expensive jewelry they said they said they saw on social media that they only acknowledged as “the rapper’s wife,” a reference to her then-husband, Husband Kanye West.

Kardashian, who did not participate in the sentencing, said in a statement that she was “very grateful to the French authorities for their pursuit of justice in this case.” Kardashian’s lawyer said in court that reality stars were “satisfied” with the verdict.

“Crime was the most terrifying experience of my life and had a lasting impact on me and my family,” she said in a statement. “While I will never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for everyone.”

The 10 defendants were called Les Papys Braqueurs or “Grandpa Robbers” in France because of their age. Some people came to the court wearing orthopedic shoes and now deaf orthopedic shoes, leaning against crutches. Khedache and Abbas, who had admitted their parts during the robbery, apologized to Kardashian and the court before their sentencing and conviction.

In the notes written to the court, Khedache offers “a thousand apology.” He also apologized to his 38-year-old son Harminy Aït Khedache, who was the driver of the gang that night. Khedache’s DNA was found on the band used to bind Kardashians, a key breakthrough that helped open the case. Eavesdropping caught his orders, recruited accomplices and arranged for the sale of Belgian diamonds. The diamond cross that fell during the escape was the only jewel to be restored.

Abbas, 71, has apologized directly to Kardashian for her contribution to the trauma she said about daily life.

He is suspected to be the attention of the gang, which is stationed outside a luxury residence and is known as the “No Name Hotel”.

Khedache’s son Harminy, 38, was accused of being the gang’s driver that night and was sentenced to five years in prison, four of which were suspended.

The only woman in the dock, Christiane Glotin, 79, was a former companion of Aït Khedache, accused of being the gang’s “secretary” and sentenced to four years of probation.

François Delaporte was charged with accomplice and sentenced to three years of probation. Marc-Alexandre Boyer’s father, Marc Boyer, was fined $5,700 for weapons charges.
