In the case of the robbery of the American star, the civil parties have presented their financial requests, while the final decision on civil interests will be rendered on September 15.
American star Kim Kardashian on Monday demanded one euro in damages from the commando “robber grandpas” Â who attacked her in the room of her Parisian hotel in 2016, extracting 9 million euros worth of jewelry from her in the middle of Fashion Week. During a hearing devoted to civil interests, the lawyer of the queen of influencers, Léonor Hennerick, demanded one euro for each of the four members of the team, including the one considered their leader, Aomar Aït Khedache, now septuagenarian. Another, Didier Dubreucq, died a few weeks after the verdict, pronounced in May 2025.
At the end of four weeks of a highly publicized trial, the Paris Assize Court handed down lenient sentences against the ten accused, the heaviest being three years in prison, without return to detention. The court explained that it had taken into consideration “School time” since that night of October 2 to 3, 2016 – nine years – and the state of health of the main protagonists who “ethically prohibited from incarcerating anyone”.

Kim Kardashian, who had been gagged and tied up and had come to the stand to tell of the terror she had felt, said she “satisfied” of the verdict and in a hurry to “turn the page”. Her stylist, Simone Bretter, present in the accommodation occupied by the star during her confinement, made the same request for damages.
Ring estimated at 3.5 million euros
Investigators never got their hands on the loot from this violent robbery, including a ring estimated at 3.5 million euros that Kim Kardashian willingly showed off on social networks. A forgotten victim of this news item, the hotel receptionist asked him for nearly 550,000 euros in damages and interest, through his lawyer Mohand Ouidja.
The majority of this amount corresponds to a “loss of professional and academic opportunity”on the grounds that this man, who was then a doctoral student and financed his studies with this night work, had not been able to complete his thesis and make his training bear fruit. “Since then, he has lived with post-traumatic syndrome”, “was never able to rebuild itself, its trajectory was broken”according to Me Ouidja, whose client now lives in Algeria after having “loigné of French territory”.
“It’s a bit specious what we’re asking of you.”replied one of the defense lawyers, Gabriel Duménil. The hotel demanded 100,000 euros from him for image damage. The decision on civil interests, the epilogue of this resounding affair, will be rendered on September 15.
