According to Us Weekly, the reality star could get her stolen 20-carat sparkler back very soon – with the help of two of the suspects who were arrested in connection with the Paris robbery last October. According to Europe 1, the 26-year-old driver denies involvement and police are examining his brother, 40, who also was arrested.
On Monday, French police revealed that they had arrested 17 people in connection with the alleged armed robbery of reality star Kim Kardashian West, which occurred in a Paris hotel room in October of 2016. Kardashian was alone at that time. Police identified one of them via DNA found on a roll of adhesive tape that the robbers had used to bind Kardashian’s hands. The source adds that the average age of these men is 55 years old. The man has a long history of counterfeiting and police have confiscated a camping trailer parked on his home as evidence.
Police have confirmed one of those arrested was working as a chauffeur and had driven Kim around Paris prior to the heist. She feels very grateful that she has been able to spend the past few months just focusing on her kids. Meanwhile, her rapper husband was performing at a show in NY when the robbery happened.
In the three months since the robbery – when five masked men bound, gagged and robbed Kardashian West of millions of dollars worth of jewels – the E! personality has retreated from the spotlight and abstained from posting on social media. Three women are also part of the 17. Authorities – who have 96 hours to either charge the suspects or release them – are trying to determine if the chauffeur passed along information to the rest of the gang. The only piece of jewellery Kim seemed to be wearing for her sushi outing was a lip ring T.I..
In the days after Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint, questions were immediately raised about her security and entourage.
