Paris -After a one -month trial, the Ten people accused of stealing multimillionaire celebrity Kim Kardashian They were given the last word in the final session of their judgment on Friday before the jury retired to consider their verdict. The man accused of being the brain behind the $ 10 million jewelry robbery in 2016 offered “thousand apologies” in a scribbled note to the court.
Aomar Aït Khedache, 69, is now deaf and largely silent. Prosecutors have asked to be sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Nine men and a woman have been judged for their participation in the robbery by shameless armed hand, facing charges that include robbery and kidnapping. The gang was called “the grandparents’ thieves” by the French media because most were 60 years old at the time of the robbery.
Kardashian was in Paris for Fashion Week in October 2016, staying in a discreet hotel in the city center. In the emotional testimony of four and a half hours 10 days ago, he told the court of Paris that “absolutely” he believed that he was going to be “raped and killed” when one of the armed and masked thieves grabbed her and threw her towards him while laying into her bed with just a bathtub.
She was tied with tyroles and adhesive tape and locked in the bathroom while the thieves were looking for in their room the expensive jewels they said they had seen in the social networks of women who recognized only as “the rapper’s wife”, a reference to their then husband Kanye West.

During the final session of Friday, the two defendants whose DNA recovered from the crime scene, who have admitted their parts in the robbery, apologized to Kardashian and the Court.
Yunis Abbas, 71, who had already apologized directly with Kardashian for contributing to the trauma with the one who said he lives daily, he told court: “Everything I have to say is apologize again; I feel it for what I could have done.”
It was suspected that it was attentive to the gang, parked outside the luxury residence known as the No Name hotel.
Khedache, in his scribbled note, also apologized to his son. Harminy Aït Khedache, 38, was accused of being a gang driver that night. He faces eight years in prison if he is convicted.
The investigators only found DNA of two of the defendants, and in the Court on Friday, the other eight led to the witness position to reiterate their claims that they had nothing to do with the crime.
The Prosecutor’s Office has requested sentences of 10 years against the four men accused of participating directly in the robbery by armed hand: Khedache, Abbas, Didier Dubreucq, 70, and the youngest of the defendant, Marc-Alexandre Boyer, 35.
The prosecutor said in the Court that they were “experienced thieves who came up with a plan and were successful.”
Florus Heroui, 52, a manager of Bar Parisino, and Gary Madar, 36, brother of the regular Kardashian driver in Paris and a waiter, who allegedly fed advice to the gang, both face sentences sentenced to seven years.
The only woman in trial, Christiane Glotin, 79, former companion of the Senior Khedache, was accused of being the “secretary” of the gang, taking care of the logistics. The Prosecutor’s Office has asked to receive a six -year judgment.
The Prosecutor’s Office requested that François Deport, accused of being an accomplice, was sentenced to four years in prison, with two of them suspended, and for Marc Boyer, accused of illegal possession of a weapon, to receive a fine of about $ 23,000. He is Marc-Alexandre Boyer’s father.
