Kim Kardashian will be testifying in a trial in France over a 2016 burglary where she was robbed at gunpoint.
Ten suspects are accused of armed robbery, kidnapping and other criminal charges in a trial that will take place from 28 April to 23 May, with Kardashian expected to appear on 13 May.
“We can confirm that Ms. Kardashian will be testifying in person at the upcoming French criminal trial involving the 2016 incident in which she was bound and robbed at gunpoint by a number of masked assailants,” lawyer Michael Rhodes said in a statement provided to the Associated Press.
The robbery took place in October 2016 when Kardashian was staying in a Paris apartment for Paris Fashion Week.
At the time, Kardashian was found “badly shaken but physically unharmed”, according to her representative. The men who were dressed as police officers managed to grab jewellery worth millions, including a US$4 million diamond ring from the SKIMS owner’s ex-husband, Kanye West.
The reality star said she ″wishes for the trial to proceed in an orderly fashion in accordance with French law and with respect for all parties to the case,” Rhodes said.
