French open Kardashian robbery probe
Print Edition
FRENCH prosecutors have formally opened an investigation into the armed robbery in Paris of Kim Kardashian in which the US reality TV star lost millions in jewelry, a judicial source said yesterday.
No suspect has been arrested, but investigators are examining DNA traces found in the luxury apartment where five gunmen robbed Kardashian of jewelry worth some 9 million euros (US$10 million), sources close to the investigation said.
The star’s 30,000-euro diamond necklace, found in the street by a passer-by hours after the October 3 heist, has not yielded any usable DNA samples, one source said.
Two mobile phones belonging to the 35-year-old multi-millionaire were also stolen during the holdup in the chic Madeleine district of Paris, near the city’s main department stores and foreign embassies.
Police said the robbers held a gun to Kardashian’s head, bound and gagged her and shut her into a bathroom in the biggest jewelry robbery of an individual in France in more than 20 years.
The star’s bodyguard, Pascal Duvier, was not with her at the time because he was providing security for Kardashian’s sister Kourtney at a Paris nightclub.
Kardashian, who had been attending Paris Fashion Week, was briefly questioned by police before returning to New York.
