Eight people have been found guilty over the 2016 robbery of Kim Kardashian, who was tied up at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room as thieves stole £4.7 million in jewellery.
Nearly a decade after one of the most daring celebrity heists in modern French history, a Paris court delivered its verdict on Friday evening, clearing two of the 10 defendants.
Aomar Aït Khedache, 69, a convicted veteran of Paris’s criminal underworld and the alleged ringleader, was one of the eight who were found guilty.
He received the toughest sentence: eight years in prison, with five suspended. Three others facing the most serious charges were each given seven years, also with five suspended.
