Suspect charged in France over Kardashian gunpoint robbery
PARIS (AFP) — A French court charged an 11th suspect on Friday over the gunpoint robbery of US reality TV star Kim Kardashian in Paris more than a year ago, a source involved in the investigation has told AFP.
The 28-year-old man has been charged with armed robbery, criminal conspiracy and holding Kardashian against her will, the source said.
Ten people had already been charged over the Oct. 2, 2016 robbery at a luxury residence where Kardashian was staying during Paris Fashion Week.
Five men tied her up, gagged her and locked her in a bathroom, before making off with jewels worth nine million euros ($10.6 million), including her four-millioneuro diamond engagement ring.
The robbery was the biggest of an individual in France in the past 20 years.
