Kardashian driver cleared in US$9.5m heist probe
Print Edition
FRENCH police investigating the armed robbery of Kim Kardashian in Paris last year have released a driver employed by the star and believe a 72-year-old pensioner took part in the raid, a legal source said yesterday.
After a series of arrests at the start of the week, three people including a driver employed by the US celebrity were released yesterday, while another 14 people remain in custody, the source said.
Investigators believe they have detained five men who took part in the theft at a luxury apartment in central Paris, including two aged 72 and 60 who have long criminal records.
They tracked down the suspects after finding DNA at the crime scene which led to a surveillance operation on the suspects.
Armed and masked men wearing police uniforms burst into Kardashian’s residence in October last year in the chic Madeleine area of Paris where the 36-year-old and her entourage were staying during Paris Fashion Week.
Kardashian was tied up and locked in her bathroom. The thieves fled with jewelry worth around US$9.5 million.
