Kardashian Paris Robbery Update, Suspects Confess to the Robbery

in Scandals by

Kim Kardashian RobberyThere has been an update about the diamond heist. The French Police have finally made a break in the case and have secured confessions from a few of the robbery suspects this week. Even though many of the suspects were released, the police feel very confident in the confessions and the case they are building against the remaining suspects.

It was reported that three out of the sixteen suspects were released this week but that theys till had fourteen people still in custody. Still in custody are Gary M., 27, a former driver for Kardashian. His brother, Michael, the man who drove her during her stay in Paris, was released last night. It is not known if Gary is among the suspects who confessed.

There has been a rumor floating around that the Robbery was an inside job. The robbers knew the exact perfect time to strike when Kim would be by herself and at her hotel room. So is comes as no surprise that her driver was one of the people who were arrested in connection with the robbery.

Concurrently, the French Police are working with law enforcement in Belgium which is where they believe that the stolen jewels ended up after the heist. Two of the suspects, “Aomar A-K” and “Marceau B” were thought to have fled to Antwerp, in following  the heist. Belgium has a “Black Market” for diamonds and several men that were arrested have ties to this illegal market. Law enforcement sources in Belgium told TMZ that their federal police force is investigating, sources say that getting the jewels back will be next to impossible. Three months have passed since they were stolen and chances are they have already been sold off.

We hope that the breaks that have come in the case lately will help put Kim’s mind at ease. During and interview, Khloe said that Kim is still suffering from PTSD from the event.

French Police have Suspects in Custody in Kardashian Robbery

in Scandals by

00-holding-kim-kardashian-robbery French Police have revealed that they believe that they have captured all the suspects in the Kim Kardashian robbery from last October. The arrests of 17 alleged veteran armed robbers behind the multi-million dollar heist in Paris included 3 women and the rest were men. Kim’s attorney says that this latest update hopefully will help his client fund closure and end the trauma that she has been suffering since the robbery occurred.

The coordinated raids over the weekend rounded up the gang, including a ‘major thug’ in his 70s, two diamond dealers and lots of long rap sheets amongst the rest of the suspects. The French Police believe that they have captured the entire gang involved in the heist. They suspects were arrested in both Paris and the south of France. One of the suspects nicknamed ‘Mr Bigs’ has been partially identified as Pierre B., a ‘career villain’ living in Grasse, in the south of France. ‘Mr. Big’ is a 72-year-old who has made millions through counterfeit money in the past. The suspects can be held for up to 96 hours before being charged or released.

It has been found out that the French police were able to track the suspects down due to a DNA  that was found on a piece of tape used to gag Kim Kardashian during the robbery. After three months of checking the DNA sample against samples of numerous suspects, it was finally connected to a well-known criminal who had been involved in numerous armed robberies. He has not been named yet.

Kim’s attorney, Jean Veil, made this statement regarding the arrests, “I welcome this with great satisfaction.” He went on to say that, “These arrests are a nice surprise because on the one hand, it will perhaps make it possible to find the jewelry. On the other hand, it puts an end to the outrageous speculation by some, who thought it was intelligent to pretend that this robbery was staged, or a publicity stunt organized by Ms. Kardashian.”

We were torn on whether this was a publicity stunt at first but now we feel like it wasn’t. We hope that she can now start recovering from this traumatic incident.

Kardashian Robbery a Fake?

in People by

Is Is possible that the robbery was as fake at Kim’s butt injections? In a bombshell report, The Huffington Post released a report that claims that Kim confessed to the production crew of the show that she faked the entire robbery to benefit her show. The post that stated this confession has since been deleted by the publication.  As a result of Kim’s confession E! stopped production on KUWTK, and canceled the show shortly thereafter.

Starcasm.com has revealed that the Huffington Post story headlined “The Alleged Stunt That Backfired And May Cost Kim Kardashian Her Career.” has been removed from their website. The story was archived by the gossip blog Fameolous, and is available at this link. The story alleges that Kim confessed that the robbery was an elaborate ruse in order to boost ratings of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Though the show is in Season 12 and it averages approximately two million viewers per week, it remains unclear as to why this elaborate stunt was needed in order gain exposure . In addition, in February of 2015, the Kardashians signed a four-year, $100 million contract with E!.

For now, E! hasn’t released a statement addressing these allegations and hasn’t stated whether the show is completely done.

Update on Kardashian Robbery

in People by

840_kim_611275008We learned yesterday that Kim was robbed at gunpoint at her Parisian hotel Hotel de Pourtalès and the robbers made off with almost $20 million worth of her jewelry and belongings. More details of the robbery have been emerging over the last 24 hours and the story keeps getting more and more mysterious. Although the police don’t have any leads yet, they think it is an inside job.

TMZ reported that the police do not think it is a coincidence that Kim was without her bodyguard at the exact time of the robbery. They think the robbers were somehow tipped off to when Kim would be alone in her room. There was a small window of time that Kim was by herself and that is when the robbers broke in. She had friends over and her bodyguard was out guarding Kendall and Kylie at a local nightclub. Once Kim’s friends left the hotel, that is when the robbery went down.

The police and the Kardashian’s do not think that the bodyguard was in on the robbery. It has been suggested but both the police and Kim do no think he had anything to do with it. During the robbery, it was revealed that the robbers approached the concierge at the hotel with their guns drawn and told him to take them up to Kim’s suite. Once the robbers got what they wanted, they took the concierge back downstairs.

Right now, the list of people that could have tipped off the robbers is pretty extensive. The Paris police are in the process of checking phone records of people that were in the area at the time of robbery.
