Judgment in the trial for the attack on Kim Kardashian are imminent!

On May 23, 2025, a directional judgment was expected in the process of the attack on Kim Kardashian in Paris. The spectacular attack took place on the night of October 3, 2016, during the Fashion Week. Five perpetrators who had disguised themselves as police officers penetrated Kardashian's luxury residence in the 8th Parisian district around 2:30 a.m. They captivated and gagged the reality TV personality with adhesive tape and threatened them with a weapon.

The robbers captured jewelry worth around nine million euros, including an 18.88-carat engagement ring, and fled with the prey in a large box. To date, the jewelry could not be found; Investigators suspect that he was sold in Antwerp. After the attack, Kardashian managed to free herself and raise the alarm, which saved her from physical injuries, but not from the psychological shock she had suffered.
