A motley crew of 10 suspects—ranging from 35 to 78—are facing the heat for their role in the heist that shocked the world. Armed robbery, kidnapping, and criminal gang activity are just a few of the charges these guys are staring down. But here’s the kicker: this isn’t just another trial; it’s a spectacle. The Grandpa Robbers—that’s what they’re calling them—might be facing a courtroom full of drama, and they’ve definitely got some explaining to do.
But it’s not just about the old guys in the dock. Kim Kardashian herself is about to walk into the courtroom. Yep, she’s scheduled to testify. And before you think she’s about to go all dramatic TV star on us, she’s made it clear she wants this to play out under French law, with respect. Classy. She’s due to testify on May 13, so expect the courtroom to be packed. People want to see Kim, and they want to hear her tell the world exactly what went down that fateful night.

The suspects are facing a mountain of charges, and if convicted, well, it’s game over for them. Kim? She’s staying classy, but don’t expect her to back down from this fight. This is about more than just jewelry—it’s about setting the record straight.
