A man accused of Paris stolen “Theft of $ 10 million

The trial started from 10 people accused of stealing Kim Kardashian at the Paris Hotel in 2016.

The reality TV star and businesswoman were linked and were held at the threat of weapons in a luxury wing, where she was staying during the Paris Fashion Week.

Jewelery, which is worth about $ 10 million (7.5 million pounds), including diamonds sharing $ 4 million (2.9 million pounds) from Kanye West husband at the time.

In a major courtroom decorated with nineteenth century textiles, the court gave a wonderful snapshot in the life of a variety of personalities suspected of being involved in theft.

For the first time – the 71 -year -old UNICA Abbas – this was done through “Enquête de Personnalité”, a type of background report on a person accused of a crime covered by French courts regularly in their trials. These reports take elements from the history and behavior of the defendant’s family, work to draw a picture of their lives and help jurors make a decision.

The court listened to a long list of crimes that Abbas convicted in the past – from a simple crime and trafficking in small drugs to bank robbery – and regained his difficult childhood, which he partially spent in Algeria and is characterized by the death of two of his brothers.

Abbas – who spent nearly a third of his life in prison – admitted his role in theft, and even wrote notes entitled “Kim Kardashian has held.

When asked if he had any sympathy with his victims, Abbas said he had never done before theft of Kardashian, “but this time I am regretted what I did … I opened my eyes.”

Abbas said that while watching TV in prison, he faced uncompromising coverage of robbery, which made him realize how much Kim Kardashian was exposed.

“We have dwelled in the era of the lady’s hand, but I discovered that there was a shock behind her,” he said.

The court also focused on Gary Madar, whose brother’s company has submitted transportation and taxis to Kardashis for several years. Now 35, the two father of the two were accused of feeding the gang information about Kim Kardashian on the night of theft.

At the time, Gary worked as a customer service agent at the airport. His mission was to welcome the great personalities that reach Paris airports and accompany them through passport and customs tests. Through this job, Kardashian met several times.

But he also worked in a café owned by another defendant, Floros Heroy, 52, who investigators believed that Madar has approved information about Kim Kardashian.

He denied this and informed his lawyer BBC that Mad should not be on the dock because there is no “strong evidence” of his participation.

Mark Boir, 78, is accused of providing a weapon that was used to threaten Kardashian, was also interrogated. He expressed his regret that his son Mark Alexander Bouer – who is also accused – has arisen surrounded by “thieves” and “fraudsters” who led him to make wrong life choices.

The remainder of the week will witness more defendants taking the situation with the entry of the trial on May 13 – the day when Kim Kardashian is expected to witness.

The vast majority of 400 journalists who report this trial will flow to the court on that day, and the court staff will not confirm how they will accommodate many correspondents who will want a front seat.

The court will only hear out of 10 out of 12 people arrested in 2017, when one of them died last month, and another 81 -year -old will be exempted, as he developed dementia.

Another, Aomar Ait Kheedache, will be awake on Wednesday – but it is now almost deaf and concealed and will have to write his answers on a piece of paper.

The trial takes place eight and a half years after theft.

Patricia Turancho, a crime correspondent and author of a book on theft, told the BBC that the Paris courts were busy with major terrorist trials for several years, which created accumulation.

She also said that the long wait had to do with the defendants and health issues, which means that they spent a little time in temporary detention.

“Once they were released, they felt that they were less urgent for the judges for trial,” Torrancho said.
