Kardashian’s Tuesday appearance in a Paris court is her first time facing the alleged robbers since she says she was held at gunpoint, bound with zipties and gagged as men dressed as police officers robbed her of expensive jewelry during Paris Fashion Week in 2016.
The suspects on trial, nine men and one woman, have been dubbed the “grandpa robbers” as several of them are in their 60s and 70s, and they face charges of armed robbery in an organized gang, kidnapping and other weapons charges.
