Nine men and one woman are accused of carrying out or aiding the armed burglary of £10m (£7.55m) worth of jewellery, including a diamond engagement ring, during Paris Fashion Week in 2016.

Prosecutors are seeking a 10-year sentence for four of the men accused of carrying out the robbery, and between eight and six years for the five other men and woman accused of being accessories to the crime.

The defendants delivered their final statements in court and were dismissed on Friday morning, with a verdict expected later in the day.

Many of the defendants are now elderly and unwell, leading French media to dub them the "grandpa robbers".
