The “grandfather’s robbers” kept Kardashian under shooting

In the morning after Helta, the burglary, the ebba Abbas, returned home to catch up with a little sleep.

When he woke up, his wife was glued to the TV. The title news for the day was that the American reality star Kim Kardashian, 35, was tied and robbed of firing in a luxury Parisian apartment.

All her jewelry was taken for a sum of about $ 10 million (£ 7.5 million), an engaging engagement ring that was then her husband and rapper Kanye West, who alone was worth $ 4 million (3 million pounds).

The wife of Einnis Abbas looked at him. “This has written to you everywhere,” she murmured.

She was right. The 62-year-old has been involved in a crime throughout his life, from small crimes to bank leaks.

The robbery of Kardashian, he later wrote in a memoir, would be his last job before retirement.

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

Ten of them will already appear in court in Paris in a process that will last just under three weeks.

Of these, five are accused of participating in Heist and six are accused of being accessories for the crime.

Most of them were born in the 1950s, leading French media to fix their grandfather’s robbers.

Abbas and a 68-year-old man Ayomar Ait Kedash admitted; The others are not.

One has died since then and the other, at the age of 81, will be excused as he suffers from advanced dementia.

By the time the process begins, almost nine years will pass from Heist.

On the night between October 2 and 3, 2016, Abbas and four accomplices claimed to have laid a discrete apartment of Kardashian at the De Pourtalès Hotel, in the shiny Madeleine neighborhood in Paris, not far from Opéra and Place Vendome.

Around 03:00 local time, they stormed the hall of the hotel, dressed as police officers and having a gun.

They threatened and handcuffed Aberrahman Owatiki, a doctor of Algeria, who regularly took shifts as a night receptionist and headed to Kardashian’s room.

She was resting on her bed, tired of the days of attending the events in Parisian fashion week, when she heard she was hitting up the stairs.

She called for her sister Kurtney and her stylist Stephanie, but when they did not answer, she panicked.

“I knew someone was there to take me,” she remembers in an interview with American interviewer David Leterman years later. “You just feel it.”

Kim dialed 911, but the number, of course, does not work outside the United States. As she called her then security guard Pascal Duvier – who accompanied her sister to a club – the men rushed, pushed her to the bed and began to shout.

“They continued to say, the ring, the ring! And I was so shocked that it wasn’t calculated in a minute,” she told Letterman.

The language barrier meant that Outiki should act as a translator.

They grabbed the ring and several other jewelry, as well as 1000 euros in cash. One of the men caught her and pulled her toward him.

As she wore a slave with nothing underneath, she thought he would attack her, Kim later told Leterman, wiping tears.

But instead – using the Sauucissonnage technique or the practice of tying them like a socioson, salami – the man tied it to a zipper ties and a canal strap and left it in the bathroom.

Then he and the rest of the burgons fled on motorcycles and on foot. Kim freed herself from her limitations and shortly after her security appeared.

Injurious, Kim made a statement to the French police in the early hours of the morning and flew back to the United States with dawn.

It was not until the next morning when Abbas glanced at the television screen that his wife watched that he knew who their victim was.

“There was destructive news, saying that Kim Kardashian was robbed of shooting-that’s how important it was,” says the journalist of La Kj Matthews.

“We were so fascinated by her and her family and their elevation of glory … When it happened, we were so surprised. How could burglary approach her so close to her?” Says Matthew.

But while the mistakes were made to the security of Kardashian, serious mistakes were also made by burglary.

“They did not take into account the progress reached by police techniques that can now find micro traces of DNA everywhere,” says Patricia Turcho, a crime reporter, and the author of Kim and Grandpa’s robbers – a thorough report on Hasti and the life of his perpetrators.

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

But in 2016, Paris still tried the terrorist attacks in the previous year, and there were a huge number of CCTV cameras all around the city, which means that the police managed to notice the thieves and see them out with jewelry.

Other details of this story suggest that the planning of thieves is quite accidental. When he was running off the motorcycle scene, Abbas fell and released a bag of jewelry.

The next day, a passerby found a diamond necklace and wore it all day in the office before watching the news and realized where it came from.

In January 2017

The French media posted a photo from the police bet that shows that several of the men are drinking coffee and a chat in a Paris cafe this winter, just before their arrest.

The question that remains – and which will undoubtedly be studied, making the process – is exactly how the gang has a wind on the Kardashian graphics.

The court documents seen by the BBC show that both Khedache and Abbas said all the necessary information was published online by Kardashian herself, whose career herself was built on sharing details about her life and movements.

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

The court’s documents show that police believe Gary Madar, whose brother Michael’s company has provided transportation and taxis to Kardashian for years, has been an accessory to Heist and that he has submitted information to the Kim’s location gang.

Madar was arrested in January 2017. His lawyer Arthur Verken fiercely backed against the allegations, telling the BBC that “from the beginning the case was built on assumptions, these theories – but no evidence (Madar’s involvement) was found.”

He added that although the Madar brothers exchanged texts for Kardashian during the Fashion Week, it was only because they were “bored” and that when it was held, Gary fell asleep.

Gary’s brother, Michael, is not charged.

“Five men did this. Don’t you think one of them is watching who’s coming and goes from his hotel?” He said, suggesting that Madar was only arrested to “prove that the French justice system works.”

The test will also try to determine where the jewelry is.

Police tracking of the band’s phones showed that shortly after Omar Omar, the old man travels from Paris to Antwerp in Belgium, where 50% of the world’s polished diamonds and 80% of rough diamonds are sold, according to Diamond Investment Office.

Many jewelry has been reported to have been melted or separated and sold. Abbas received 75,000 euros (£ 64,000); Others far less.

As for Kim Kardashian’s engagement ring, Omar Old said the band was too scared to sell it as it would be too easy to trace. It has never been found.

Kim Kardashian was undoubtedly frightened by the event, which marks the beginning of her hiatus on social media.

In the episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she tearfully recalled the night of Haipa and said she was scared of her life; Subsequently, she also said that the robbery made her “less materialistic person”.

Shortly after the incident, her sister, Chloe, told Ellen Degeneres that for safety reasons, Kardashian’s family was making some changes to how freely they had published on social media.

“The biggest change was her detail on security,” KJ Matthews told the BBC.

Patricia Turcho, the author of the History Book, said she was “fascinated” by “The clash between these burglary of the old style by Paris Bans and that star of global social media.”

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

“These are a group of thieves of the elderly, they always break, they are forever involved in confused plans … and they are facing a huge celebrity and do not even know who she is.”

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

“This is not the Creme de la Creme of the French bandit. They are really a little loser. They are the same people who in the 1960s and 70s will blow up banks or post offices and who then diverted to drug trafficking and then switched to jewelry because it was easier,” she said.

Around mid -May, Kim will face the suspect for the first time in years when she occupies the position as a witness.

The cameras are not allowed in the French courts, but its arrival in the tribunal only of Ilay de la Cité will inevitably cause the same media rage that has accompanied her for more than a decade.

In his memoir, Abbas expressed the hope of the victim’s status and the global resonance in the case would not influence the judges unjustifiably.

However, he also said that on the last day of the process he would bring a bag to blur with his belongings, ready to be sent to prison.

“The problem with the past,” he writes, “is that he sticks to you while you live.”
