“Grandpa’s robbers” kept Kardashian under pressure

In the morning after the theft, the robber, UNUS Obas, went home to catch up.

When he woke up, his wife was glued to the TV. The main news of the day was that the 35 -year -old American realistic star Kim Kardashian was linked and robbed under the nceal into a luxury apartment.

All her ornaments were taken for about 10 million dollars ($ 7.5 million), including the wedding ring of her husband and rapper Kanya West gave her, which only cost $ 4 million (£ 3 million).

Unis Abbas’s wife looked at him. “You wrote it on this,” she grunted.

She was right. The 62-year-old guy has tried to crime all his life, from minor crimes to banking.

Later, Kardashian’s robbery, he wrote in the memoir, was his last work before retirement.

But a series of mistakes meant that the robbery was convicted from the beginning and early 2017 – three months after the robbery – Abbas and several of his alleged accomplices were arrested.

Eleven of them will now appear in a trial in Paris in a trial of just under three weeks.

Of these, five are accused of involvement in robbery, and six are accused of being accessories for a crime.

Most of them were born in the 1950s, resulting in the French media released them by “robbers”.

Abbas and 68-year-old Amara Ait Hedash confessed; The rest do not have.

Since then, one has passed away and the other at the age of 81 will be justified because it suffers from advanced dementia.

By the time the trial will begin, almost nine years have passed since Cheist.

On the night of October 2 and 3, 2016, Abbas and four accomplices allegedly made a restrained Kardashian set at the de Purtales Hotel, in the brilliant Madeleine neighborhood in Paris, near Opéra and Place Vendome.

At about 3:00 local time, they invaded the hotel entrance hall, wearing policemen and owned a gun.

They threatened and handcuffed both the Ovatiki, a columnist who regularly made changes as a night reception, and moved to the Cardashian room.

She rested on her bed, tired of visiting the Paris weeks of fashion when she heard the stairs.

She called for her sister Kurtny and her stylist Stephanie, but if they didn’t answer, she paniced.

“I knew someone was there to make me,” she remembered in an interview with US interviewer David Letterman through years. “You just feel it.”

Kim scored 911, but of course he did not work on the US borders. When she called her then security guard Pascal Duver, who accompanied her sister into the club – the men invaded, pushed her on the bed and started screaming.

“They continued to say: the ring, the ring! And I was so impressed that I didn’t calculate a minute,” she said.

The language barrier meant that the Watki was supposed to act as a translator.

They grabbed a ring and several other precious stones, as well as 1000 euros in cash. One of the men grabbed her and pulled her.

Since she was in the robe, with nothing under him, she thought he would attack her, ”who said later, wiping her tears.

But instead – using the technique of Saucissonnage, or the practice of binding them, like Sausison, salami – the man tied it with fasteners and adhesive tape, and left it in the bathroom.

Then he and the rest of the robbers fled on bicycles and foot. Kim was released from her restrictions, and shortly after her guard appeared.

After injured by whom she gave a statement to the French police in the early o’clock in the morning and flew back to the United States before dawn.

And only the next morning, when Abbas looked at the TV screen, he watched as he understood who the victim is.

“There were breakdowns of the news stated that Kim Kardashian was robbed at the sight is how important it was,” says the journalist of entertainment entertainment KJ Matthews.

“We were so fascinated with her and her family, and their rise in glory … When the theft happened, we were so surprised. How could we crack her so close?” – says Matthew.

But while the mistakes were made in terms of Kardashian’s security, serious mistakes were made on the hacking side.

“They did not take into account the progress made by police methods that can now find DNA micro -houses where -you are,” said Patricia Turachki, the reporter of the crimes and the author of “Kim and the robbers of the grandfather” – a thorough accounting of the robbery and life of their guilty.

“When they dressed in the police, they thought that” that’s all, no one would be able to recognize us, “she adds.

But in 2016, Paris still felt from the terrorist attacks of the previous year, and there was a huge number of CCTV cameras across the city, that is, police were able to notice the thieves and see how they were shooting with values.

Other details of this story suggest that the planning of the thieves was quite random. Running from the scene on the bicycle, Abbas fell, lowering the bag from the gems.

The next day passers -by found a diamond necklace and wore it all day in the office before watching the news and realizing where it came from.

Police arrested Abbas and several other people in January 2017, and later confirmed that they were under supervision for several weeks, after the DNA left at the scene, provided a match with Omar Ait Hedash, also known as “Omar old”.

The French media posted a photo from a police standing stating that several men drink coffee and chatting at the Paris Café this winter, just before their arrest.

The question that remains – and which will undoubtedly be studied – is how the gang has the wind graph of Kardashian.

The court documents, noticed by the BBC, show that both Hedash and Abbas stated that all the information they needed was posted on the Internet herself Kardashian, whose career was built on the exchange of details about her life and movements.

But how did the gang know that on the night of October 2, Kardashian would be alone in her room without her guard?

The court documents show that the police believe that Harry Madar whose firm Michael has provided transportation and taxi Kardashian for many years, was an accessory for robbery and that he fed the gang about Kim’s location.

Madar was arrested in January 2017. His lawyer Arthur Verkken rigidly pushed away from the allegations, saying “since the case was built on assumptions, dissertations, theories – but no evidence (Madar’s participation) has never been found.”

He added that, despite the fact that Madar’s brothers exchanged texts about Kardashian during the Fashion Week, it was just because they were “sad” and that when the theft happened, Harry slept.

Brother Gary, Michael, is not a defendant.

“Five men did it. You don’t think one of them followed the one who comes and leaves his hotel?” He said, believing that Mr. Madar was arrested only “to prove that the French justice system was working.”

The court will also try to determine where the values ​​were.

Police tracking the gang phones showed that shortly after Haist Omar, the old man traveled from Paris to Antwerp in Belgium, where 50% of the scorched diamonds in the world and 80% coarse diamonds are sold, reports Diamond Investment Office.

Many gems were reportedly melted or crashed and sold. Abbas received 75,000 euros (64,000 pounds); Others are much less.

As for the wedding ring Kim Kardashian, Omar old said that the gang was too afraid to sell it, because it would be too easy to see. It has never been found.

Kim Kardashian was undoubtedly a frightened event that noted the beginning of her break on social media.

In the episode, she remembered her tears at night with tears and said she was afraid of her life; Later, she also said that the robbery made her “less materialistic”.

Shortly after the incident, her sister Chloe told Ellen Degeneres that for security reasons, the Kardashian family made some changes in how free they posted on social media.

“The greatest change was her security detail,” KJ Matthews BBC said.

Patricia Turachki, author of the book about Rabaki, said that “fascinated” “a collision between these thefts of the old style from Paris Banlieu and this global social media star.”

“They fled on bicycles, and it flies on private planes,” she laughed.

“This is a group of elderly people who have come out of people, they always break, they are forever involved in confusing plans … and they face a huge celebrity and do not even know who it is.”

The gang was not “elite”, as suggested in the early days, she added.

“This is not the creme de la creme from the French bandit. In fact, they are a little loser. They are the same people who in the 60s and 70s will break banks or send offices, and then refused to trade drugs, and then moved to valuables because it was easier,” she said.

Approximately in mid -May, Kim will face suspects for the first time when she acts as a witness.

The cameras are not allowed in the French courts, but the arrival in the tribunal only on Il -da -la -lyta inevitably causes the same media -war that accompanied it for more than ten years.

In his memoir Abbas expressed hope that the status of the victim and the global resonance of the case would not affect the judges.

However, he also said that on the last day of the trial he would bring a bag with things with his things, ready to go to jail.

“The problem with the past,” he wrote, “that’s what it sticks to you while you live.”
