Résumé

Kim Kardashian and the robbery gang.

It was the most famous burglary of the last decade: on October 3, 2016, Kim Kardashian was robbed of 9 million euros worth of jewelry in her Paris suite. Having come to Paris for Fashion Week, she was kidnapped by a gang of "robber grandpas" dressed in K-ways and police caps. The case attracted international attention, particularly in the United States. The FBI assists the French police in tracking down the culprits.

For the first time, Yunice Abbas, one of the "grandfather robbers" behind the operation, tells the story of the robbery "from the inside" - accurately and without bluster. All on foot and by bike! With gumption and panache, without bluster or remorse, he delivers a number of revelations and previously unpublished anecdotes. A near-perfect operation, which enabled him to rob the queen of social networks without violence. It's also an opportunity to correct the wild tales peddled about an affair that hasn't yet revealed all its mysteries.

The Kim Kardashian kidnapping trial will take place in Paris from April 28 to May 23, 2025. A documentary based on the book will be released in April 2025.

Born in 1953 in Clichy-sous-Bois, Yunice Abbas was first charged in 1972. He was released in 1974. This marked the start of a busy judicial career, with numerous stints in prison for various petty crimes. Until the bank robbery in Brussels, which earned him five years' imprisonment - and a ban on entering Belgium. In autumn 2016, he agreed to take part in the "coup du siècle" with his old friend "la Pince". He is now awaiting trial.
