Kim Kardashian's ‘grandpa robbers' found guilty – but won't face prison time
A Paris court on Friday found the ringleader and seven other people guilty in the robbery of Kim Kardashian at her residence in the French capital in 2016. But none of them will face prison time.
The court acquitted two of the 10 defendants. The sentences read out by the court president ranged from prison terms to fines.
Aomar Ait Khedache, 69, the ringleader, got the stiffest sentence, eight years imprisonment but five of those are suspended. Three others who were accused on the most serious charges got seven years, five of them suspended.
With time already served in pretrial detention, none of those found guilty will go to prison. The trial was heard by a three-judge panel and six jurors.
The chief judge, David De Pas, said the ages of the defendants – the oldest is 79 and some others are in their 60s and 70s – weighed on the court's decision not to impose harsher sentences that would have sent them to jail. He said the nine years between the robbery and the trial was also taken into account in the sentencing.
Still, he said that Kardashian had been traumatised by the robbery in her hotel.

Malaysia jails Chinese national over car crash that killed Sabah court official
A Chinese national has been sentenced to five years' jail for causing the death of Sabah State Courts director Marutin Pagan, 56, in an accident in Malaysia. Sessions Court Judge Rosli Ahmad ordered on Tuesday that Sun Xue Song, 42, was to serve the prison term from March 30, the date of his arrest. Sun was also fined 20,000 ringgit (US$4,721) in default of three months' jail and disqualified from holding a driving licence for five years from April 7, the date he was charged. Sun had initially entered a not guilty plea when the charge was first read to him by a court interpreter before Magistrate Romario Jonoi. On May 16, he changed his plea to guilty during pre-trial case management before Magistrate Oon Kork Chern. Oon then recused himself from hearing the case further because of his acquaintance with the victim, and it was then scheduled for reassignment before Rosli. According to the facts of the case, the engineer was accused of driving a sports utility vehicle dangerously, causing Marutin's death at the Kanowit roundabout near Sibu in Sarawak state at around 1pm on March 30.
