Reality Star Prepares to Face Suspects Involved in Terrifying Incident
A source exclusively tells PEOPLE that Kim Kardashian, 44, is en route to Paris to testify against the suspects involved in the 2016 Paris robbery. Kim, eagerly awaiting her chance to testify, was terrified for her life during the robbery and wants those involved convicted.
On Monday, May 12, the SKIMS founder shared a post on her Instagram Stories indicating she was traveling abroad. The armed thieves broke into Kardashian's room at the No Address hotel in Paris, bound and gagged her, and stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry from her.
Ten people are expected to appear in court to face charges in connection with the heist. The trial for the suspects involved began on Monday, April 28. In a 2017 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim opened up about the harrowing ordeal and how she feared for her life.
Kim Kardashian previously revealed that she believed the perpetrators tracked her via social media. She was Snapchatting that she was home alone, making it easier for the thieves to target her. The stolen jewelry was estimated to be worth nearly $9 million, and most of it was never recovered.
