Kim Kardashian and her Paris robbery: The trial of the "grandparent robbers" begins nine years after the attack.

In the early hours of October 3, 2016,Kim Kardashian experienced one of the most traumatic episodes of her life in a luxurious suite at the Hôtel de Pourtalès, in the heart of Paris. Two hooded men, one armed, entered her room, and for 10 minutes, she was bound hand and foot , with her mouth covered with duct tape.

The influencer has admitted that she feared for her life as the criminals stole her jewelry, valued at around nine million euros . Now, almost a decade later, the case is back in the spotlight with the start of the trial at the Paris Court of First Instance.

Among the accused are three elderly men identified as the main perpetrators of the robbery. They have mobility and hearing problems, and their appearance is far from what one might associate with a robbery of this magnitude. In fact, they have been nicknamed "grandfather thieves."

The case has attracted the attention of international media outlets due to its scale. On one side, a millionaire social media star; on the other, a gang of criminals , hardened in the Paris suburbs, who managed to pull off one of the most notorious robberies.

Nearly ten years later, the trial seeks to clarify the facts and bring justice, but also to close a dark chapter in Kim Kardashian's life . On social media, people are claiming that the verdict will also be the verdict on the clash between two worldviews.
