Almost nine years after Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris, the suspects accused of stealing $9 million of jewelry will head to court Monday for the start of a high-profile trial that will feature testimony from the reality star.   

A total of 10 people, nicknamed the “grandpa robbers” by French media because of their ages, face charges in connection with the break-in at the reality star’s luxury suite at the Hôtel de Pourtalès, an anonymous-looking building known as “No Address” frequented by A-list celebrities. The suspects allegedly wore ski masks and clothes with police markings, tied Kardashian up in the bedroom of the luxury suite and robbed her. They are accused of armed robbery, kidnapping or other criminal charges.

All eyes will be on Kardashian when she takes the stand May 13 in the trial which is expected to last a month.

Michael Rhodes, Kardashian’s attorney, said that his client has “tremendous appreciation and admiration for the French judicial system” and that she “has been treated with great respect by the French authorities.”
