Yunice Abbas, a member of the ‘Grandpa Robbers’ gang, will face a trial for robbing Kim Kardashian. Abbas and the other gang members were taken into custody in January 2017, three months after the incident took place in October 2016.

Yunice Abbas, a key defendant in the trial of a gang accused of robbing Kim Kardashian at gunpoint in Paris in 2016 and stealing $9 million worth of jewellery from her, has said he regrets the trauma he caused the reality star-turned-business mogul in the years since.

At the Paris trial of 10 people accused of robbing Kim Kardashian at gunpoint in 2016, a defendant who wrote a book about the jewellery heist Tuesday said he regretted participating. But Abbas has sought to capitalise on the crime by publishing his version of events in a 2021 book titled "I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian".
