SAINT-ETIENNE, France — A Paris court on Tuesday awarded 1 euro ($1.15) to Kim Kardashian<\/a> for having been the victim of an armed robbery<\/a> in the French capital in 2016, the amount of compensation she had asked for, according to a lawyer involved in the case.<\/p>\n

Kardashian has sought to move on<\/a> since the court last year found eight people guilty<\/a> for their roles in what the celebrity described as \u201cthe most terrifying experience of my life.\u201d She and stylist Simone Harouche expressed gratitude to the French justice system in a joint statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe experience was deeply traumatic, and its impact has stayed with us. Today\u2019s decision is not about the compensation, but about accountability and recognition,\u201d the statement to The Associated Press read. \u201cWe are thankful to the Court and everyone who supported us throughout this process, and we hope to now move forward and continue to heal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The court awarded a former receptionist at the H\u00f4tel de Pourtal\u00e8s 109,516 euros ($126,472), according to his lawyer. Kardashian had been staying at the hotel when the robbery gang targeted her.<\/p>\n

The receptionist said he had been traumatized by the Oct. 2, 2016, jewel heist during Fashion Week. He had sought 550,000 euros ($634,868) in damages and interest. His lawyer, Mohand Ouidja, welcomed the decision as a victory.<\/p>\n

The lawyer read the court\u2019s written decisions pertaining to Kardashian and the others aloud to the AP.<\/p>\n

The court awarded the hotel 50,000 euros ($57,741). It awarded 1 euro \u2014 the amount she had requested \u2014 to Harouche, Kardashian\u2019s stylist who was present during the robbery.<\/p>\n

French lawyers who acted for Kardashian during the trial didn’t respond to text messages and phone calls this week from the AP.<\/p>\n

Two of the robbers, dressed as police, forced their way into her suite, bound Kardashian with zip ties and tape and made off with more than $6 million in jewelry, including a diamond ring she\u2019d worn that night to a Givenchy show. <\/p>\n

Because of their ages, the robbers became known in France as \u201cles papys braqueurs,\u201d or the grandpa robbers. Six of them were in their 60s and 70s when they were tried for armed robbery, kidnapping, gang association and other charges.<\/p>\n

With time already served in pretrial detention, none of those found guilty went back to prison. None of them appealed the verdict.<\/p>\n

Kardashian said in a statement issued after their conviction that she was \u201cdeeply grateful to the French authorities for pursuing justice in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crime was the most terrifying experience of my life, leaving a lasting impact on me and my family,\u201d the celebrity said. \u201cWhile I\u2019ll never forget what happened, I believe in the power of growth and accountability and pray for healing for all. I remain committed to advocating for justice and promoting a fair legal system.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAINT-ETIENNE, France — A Paris court on Tuesday awarded 1 euro ($1.15) to Kim Kardashian for having been…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":897887,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[17963,49,48,361,13444,2169,75,2841,18158,17648,883],"class_list":["post-897886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-assault","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-courts","tag-crime","tag-entertainment","tag-general-news","tag-oddities","tag-theft","tag-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=897886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/897887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=897886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=897886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=897886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
