**Kim Kardashian Robbery: Eight Sentenced in Paris Heist Case**
Eight individuals were sentenced in Paris for the infamous 2016 robbery of Kim Kardashian, with sentences largely suspended due to their age.
Eight suspects, including seven men and one woman, were convicted by a Paris court in connection with the shocking robbery of reality TV star Kim Kardashian in 2016, where she was held at gunpoint. The incident, which occurred at a luxury apartment in Paris during Fashion Week, resulted in the theft of jewelry worth millions.
The defendants, commonly referred to as the "grandpa robbers" in the media due to their ages, were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to eight years; however, most of these sentences were suspended. This leniency sparked conversation among observers, especially as Judge David De Pas noted the defendants' advanced ages and health concerns as contributing factors to the lighter sentences while acknowledging the significant harm caused by their actions.
In addition to the eight convicted, a ninth individual was found guilty of firearms possession but was not implicated in the robbery. A tenth suspect was acquitted due to insufficient evidence against them. These events represent one of the most notorious celebrity heists in contemporary French history, characterized by the audacity and age of those involved.
