Shocking images from the scene of Kim Kardashian’s robbery in Paris, France, last October have just been released. This is where Kim was gagged, tied up and almost raped before her jewelry collection worth nearly 9 million USD was stolen.

Last October, the American reality TV star was held up by five masked and armed men at her luxury apartment in Paris, France, while she was there to attend the prestigious fashion week . Nearly $9 million worth of jewelry was stolen from her on October 3, 2016.

Kim Kardashian was shocked and traumatized after a robbery in Paris, France, in October 2016.

A French TV channel recently released rare and exclusive images of the robbery scene inside the Hôtel de Pourtalès. In them, they took close-up shots of the tape and rope that the robbers used to restrain the famous star.

The mother of two was alone at the time of the incident. She was tied up and thrown into the hotel bathtub by the robbers. In addition, the French TV channel also released photos of a group of men suspected of being the thieves at a cafe outside the building before the robbery took place.

The men, aged between 50 and 72, were arrested last month while negotiating with a jewellery businessman. They have been charged with robbery, kidnapping and involvement in the sale of stolen goods.

A man in his 60s named Aomar Ait Khedache, also known as ‘Old Omar’, and Didier Dubreucq, 60, known as ‘Blue Eyes’, were arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in the robbery. Khedache’s DNA matched that of the DNA found at the scene of the robbery. He told police that his gang were so scared that they got rid of most of the stolen jewelry except for Kim’s $3.5 million engagement ring.

“To make the jewelry harder to detect, we melted it down,” a suspect confessed. Police have yet to recover any of the stolen jewelry.

In the three months since the robbery in Paris, France, Kim has been in hiding, avoiding the media. Friends of the celebrity said she suffered from psychological trauma and underwent treatment after the robbery. Last month, in a promotional video for a new episode of the family show, Kim spoke for the first time about the incident. “They shot me in the back,” she told her two sisters. “There was no way out.”

On February 2, she received a request to report on the robbery in Paris, France. Remember, in October 2016, she told the police in New York everything. The incident scared Kim but also made her heavily criticized. Many opinions said that Kim Kardashian’s habit of showing off on social networks made her a target for thieves. After the incident, Kim also stopped updating her activities on social networks regularly.
