Kardashian to testify in Paris trial for million-dollar jewellery robbery

American socialite Kim Kardashian will testify in person at an upcoming trial concerning a high-profile jewellery robbery.

The robbery occurred during Paris Fashion Week in October 2016. Ten suspects are charged with offences including armed robbery and kidnapping.

Criminals breached a Paris apartment, restraining Kardashian and locking her in a bathroom before stealing jewellery valued at around $USD10 million.

“We can confirm that Ms. Kardashian will be testifying in person at the upcoming French criminal trial involving the 2016 incident in which she was bound and robbed at gunpoint by a number of masked assailants," lawyer Michael Rhodes said.

Among the items stolen was a ring valued at $USD4 million, gifted to Kardashian by her then-husband Kanye West.

Following the incident, French authorities launched an investigation. Police arrested 17 suspects in connection with the robbery in January 2017. The trial is scheduled to begin on 28 April.
