PARIS - The French court has been accused of stealing Kim Kardashian's gun at the trial for the stealing of $9 million worth of jewelry in a trial, prosecutors and defendants will start selecting jurors on Monday.

It was the opening day of a lawsuit against 10 people related to the 2016 robbery, who allegedly held Kardashian, 44, at the gun and stole her jewels while attending the city's fashion week in Paris.

Kardashian lives in a private apartment building with a visiting VIP when five defendants arrived on bicycles, walked to the building, and robbed reality TV stars into business big shots. Other defendants were charged with related crimes, including plans and tips on Kardashian's whereabouts.

As some of them were nicknamed "Grandpa Robber" in local media as some of them were in the 1960s and 1970s. The case took so long to go to trial that one defendant died at age 80 and could not be tried due to the person's medical condition.

Those on trial include AOMAR AIT AIT KHEDACHE, 69, known as "Old Omar", accused of being the mastermind of the plot; his son and alleged vacation driver Harminy, 37; Didier "Blue Eyes" Dubreucq, 69; Kardashian's brother, 35, of Paris, Gary Madar, 35, of providing information to alleged gang members about the whereabouts of Kardashian. One of the defendants is a woman, Christiane Glotin, 78, who is allegedly accomplice in the planned robbery.

At least one defendant admitted that he played in the robbery. Yunice Abbas, 72, wrote the 2021 book I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian, in which he details his life story and provides a description of the robbery itself. In the text, he describes a team recruited several months ago to rob an unnamed "the wife of an American rapper," whose identity only learned after committing a crime against her.

Abbas' attorney Gabriel Dumenil told NBC on his way into the court that his client was to "explain himself, express himself, speak his truth and express regrets about the case. It's very important to him."

"He knew the dangers of this trial," Dumenil added.

Under the French judicial system, the defendants in criminal cases have no formal request. They can acknowledge or deny their guilt, but the trial will go on anyway. Most cases in France are decided by judges, but the jury will hear it because the maximum sentence for that trial is more than 20 years. French courts do not allow the use of TV cameras, so journalists will record the proceedings and sketch the artist about what is happening in the room.

The American reality star himself will appear in court on May 13. She had previously described her experience as horrible suffering, and she was sure she would die.

She recalls trying to call 911 when the people entered her room, “It seems like I don’t know how to call 911 in another country,” she aired E in 2017! an episode of "Come on the Kardashians".
