Kim Kardashian tells court she thought she would die during Paris armed heist

Kim Kardashian will testify against a gang of 10 people known as the “grandpa robbers” who are accused of stealing jewelry worth $9 million at gunpoint from her.

PARIS — Kim Kardashian thought she “would be dead on the bed, shot dead” when armed robbers forced their way into her Paris apartment, tied her up and stole $9 million of jewelry, the influencer told a French courtroom.

The social media and business mogul was giving evidence at the trial of 10 people accused in connection with the robbery during Paris Fashion Week in 2016, one of the most audacious celebrity heists in the country's history. Now mostly in their 60s and 70s, the suspects have become known in French media as the "grandpa robbers."

With some 500 journalists crammed in and around Paris' Palais de Justice, Kardashian recounted how she feared she would be raped when two men allegedly entered the luxury residence and tied her up while she was wearing just a bathrobe.
