**Kim Kardashian Heist: Robbery Gang Found Guilty After Nearly a Decade**
Eight members of a robbery gang convicted in Kim Kardashian's high-profile Paris heist nearly a decade ago.
Eight individuals were found guilty following the shocking theft of millions of dollars in jewelry from Kim Kardashian during Paris Fashion Week in 2016. The armed robbery, which took place at the Hotel de Pourtales, resulted in the theft of an estimated $10 million worth of valuables.
Among those convicted were four individuals who participated directly in the crime, receiving prison sentences ranging from seven to eight years; however, most of these sentences were suspended. Two others were acquitted of all charges.
During the trial, Kardashian testified about the traumatic incident, saying it was "the most terrifying experience of my life," which continues to affect her and her family deeply. “While I never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all,” she added in her statement.
Key evidence included DNA linking two gang members, Aomar Ait Khedache, 69, and Yunice Abbas, 71, to the crime scene, both of whom admitted their involvement. Khedache was sentenced to eight years in prison, while Abbas received a seven-year term, with five years of their sentences suspended for each. The fourth gang member, Marc-Alexandre Boyer, 35, was given a similar sentence as well.
While the verdict brings a degree of closure to Kardashian, the event remains a poignant reminder of the dangers that accompany celebrity life.
