Kim Kardashian is in Paris to testify in the trial against ten suspects implicated in the 2016 robbery where millions of dollars in jewelry was stolen from her. The trial, which commenced on April 28, 2025, is expected to continue until May 23. Kardashian's testimony is scheduled for May 13 and is considered a major event in the trial.

The robbery occurred in the early morning hours of October 3, 2016, during Paris Fashion Week. Masked men broke into Kardashian's two-story apartment at the Hôtel de Pourtalès, held her at gunpoint, and stole jewelry worth nearly $10 million. Among the stolen items was a $4 million ring gifted to her by her then-husband, Kanye West. The robbers tied her up, and she feared for her life during the incident.

French authorities arrested 17 people in January 2017 in connection with the robbery. The suspects were narrowed down to 12, but one has since died, and another was excused due to advanced Alzheimer's. The ten defendants include nine men and one woman, who face charges of robbery and kidnapping. Some of the accused have admitted their involvement, while others deny it. The French press has dubbed the main defendants "The Granddad Robbers" because most are in their 60s and 70s with long criminal records. Aomar Ait Khedache, allegedly the mastermind, is known as "Old Omar".

Kim Kardashian has expressed a desire to testify in person. She is expected to be questioned by the judge, her attorneys, the prosecutors, and the defendants’ attorneys. Her legal team stated that she "is reserving her testimony for the court and jury and does not wish to elaborate further at this time".

The trial has garnered significant media attention. Some lawyers for the accused have expressed concern that Kardashian's fame could distract from the case's essentials. The defense argues that the defendants regret their actions and will accept responsibility. The prosecution hopes that Kardashian's testimony will highlight the seriousness of the charges.
