Right now, Aliyah party. All matte python.
You guys, I have FOMO.
Everyone's leaving me and I just got a spray tan, so I can't leave.
We have some breaking news coming out of Paris.
The American reality TV star Kim Kardashian
has been robbed at gunpoint.
Jewelry worth millions of pounds have been taken.
Including her wedding ring, which was $4 million.
No details of who the gunmen or gun people were.
One of the things that the police will want to find out
is how this gang knew that she was there.
Kim's Snapchat videos may have told the robbers when to strike.
People were saying that she had staged the robbery.
It was not a hoax. It was organized crime.
The biggest in 20 years.
I wish I could tell you where the ring was.
Kim! Kim!
This is my closure and my opportunity
to put this to rest after everything I've been through.
I came to Paris for Fashion Week
and Paris has always been a place I love so much,
but when I came for Fashion Week during that trip,
it changed everything.
Paris Fashion Week is the only one that counts in the world.
Everyone is in Paris Fashion Week.
Paris is definitely the fashion week
where all the celebrities want to come and be seen.
But fame doesn't guarantee that you'll get in without a problem
because there's so many famous people now.
Paris fashion world initially looked down on the Kardashians, I'd say.
Kim was a newcomer, and she was a brazen American
and she had a non-traditional fashion background.
She's too sexy, too flashy. Too visible, too much everything.
It's looking sexy, looking sexy with her mom.
Both are flaunting their cleavage, the French are upset about that.
My momma.
But as soon as Kim started dating Kanye,
you could immediately see her style change.
Ye. Kanye West. Kanye Omari West turned Kim Kardashian the fuck up.
Working with Kanye for 22 years.
22 years. Sounds crazy, right?
Kim wasn't known for fashion. Ye been known for fashion.
Ye came in and flipped her closet, flipped her style,
we know, changed that shit,
put his magic on that shit and that's what it is.
He had the credential of an artist. Fashion always has space for artists.
She wouldn't have been invited to fashion week pre-Kanye. Poor Kim.
Today's challenge was underwear or no underwear.
To me, Kim Kardashian is truly the innovator of social media.
I've known the Kardashians since 2005.
Kim's also the biggest reality star of our time
and one of the most photographed people in the world.
And she probably took most of those photos herself.
She kind of created the selfie and putting yourself out there
and loving yourself and making that kind of a way of life.
At Paris fashion week, Kim is posting frequently on social media,
Instagram and Snapchat. She's letting us into her world.
She's showing us the jewelry she has...
Second look of the day.
...what she's wearing.
It felt quite authentic, you know, she was posting a plate of chips,
you wouldn't see Anna Wintour doing that.
The whole family was there,
and it was displays of wealth that you never saw front rows have.
It was a culture of showing money when the French are usually more shy.
That, I think, was still new for Paris Fashion Week.
Kim Kardashian was definitely everywhere during Fashion Week.
I'm working in fashion for more than 10 years now.
I was a photographer covering all the shows and events for Vogue,
so it was pretty hectic and exciting at the same time.
The Balmain afterparty was held
at Musee Des Arts Decoratifs in Paris.
It was one of those crazy parties and cocktails you could imagine
would take place during Fashion Week. And of course, Kim was there too.
Kim always has security. But as it was inside,
it was a much lighter entourage
than it could be when she's in the street.
I've got like many shots of Kim at the party as soon as she arrived.
But also in more intimate moments when she was with her friends,
having fun, later in the evening.
Pictures were great. She was having a good time.
Colors were nice. Looks were great.
I do believe that Kim was one of those girls, you know,
just to be a part of Paris Fashion Week,
that was one of her dreams.
Three on bikes, two walking on foot.
They were wearing jackets
with the word "police" written on it and also hoods.
They knock on the door.
The night watchman, the security guard
saw the word "police" written on their jackets.
So he's not really afraid for now, he's opening the door.
One of them take out a gun and threaten him.
And they tied his hands together
and asking where the wife of the rapper is staying.
Kim Kardashian is, at that moment,
on her bed and she hears noises.
So she thinks that her sister has come home
and is coming to wish her goodnight.
There is no response.
That's when the door opens.
The two criminals, along with the security guard,
are in front of Kim Kardashian.
The first thing that they ask is for the ring.
They know that she has a ring, a $4 million ring, apparently,
that she used to show on social media.
This is what they are coming to get.
It's the famous ring and that's what they want.
But they find other stuff in this bedroom.
She took all of her jewelry to Paris
because she wanted to be able to wear all the diamonds she got
if she needed to.
So she has millions dollars of jewelry in her bedroom
with no security and no safe.
After they got their jewelry in their bag,
when they are ready to leave, they are in a hurry.
Kim Kardashian is crying and screaming,
so they put tapes on her mouth and her hands, arms, and legs.
At this point, she's really scared because she's almost naked.
She thinks she's going to be raped, maybe, or killed.
But they take her in the bathroom and put her in the bathtub
and leave the suite, running.
At the same time that Kim's being interviewed by the police,
Kanye is performing at the Meadows festival.
Someone obviously has alerted him to the fact that Kim has been robbed,
and you can see how concerned he is.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, family emergency. I have to stop the show.
So he calls me, Kim just got robbed in Paris.
Like what? I was like probably one of the first people to know.
It was crazy, bro, to hear him say that shit on the phone.
Could you imagine that?
Could you imagine being the ocean away?
Something happened to your beloved. Can you fucking imagine that?
No, it's nuts. It's crazy.
My door was open like this
and then I saw two guys holding another guy down
in police uniforms, but right outside of my bedroom,
five feet away.
So I slid off my bed and picked up my phone,
and I'm like, I don't know how to call 911 in a different country,
and then the guy came and grabbed the phone from me,
threw me on the bed.
Then you know they had the gun up to me
and I just like knew that was the moment
they're just totally going to shoot me in the head.
Please, like I have a family, like let me live.
When news first broke that something had happened to Kim in Paris,
It was it was trending in the news. It was trending on social media.
It was trending everywhere. It was huge news.
And this was a story that had two tracks running through it.
It had the investigation on the one hand,
and then it had the reception of the news, on the other hand.
Before the robbery, there was always a question of...
...did Kim's people
give the paparazzi the heads up for where she was going to be?
Was she organically creating these celebrity moments at the restaurant
while shopping, all of these places where celebs get photographed?
There was an undercurrent of planned behavior.
People were saying that this was a publicity stunt
and that this was a hoax,
that she had staged the robbery.
She didn't get robbed, that was an insurance scam.
The Kardashians are always doing it.
And you know that if she would've got robbed, they probably took her house,
because she's more money than the jewelry they stole, so come on.
Very strange how in a hotel protected by so many security guards
and so many protocols that Kim Kardashian
could be robbed like that.
I don't believe it for one second.
If it were any other American mother of children,
who was held up at gunpoint,
there would have been an international outcry,
and it would have been, American mother robbed in Paris.
Instead it was, Kim Kardashian faked this.
It's a theorie du complot. Conspiracy theory.
It's always the easy way to believe that there is a plot,
that someone is a puppet master doing everything.
It was not a hoax. It was organized crime.
It must have been traumatized to wake up with a gun on your head
in a place when you think you're safe.
I hear about the robbery when I was home and the phone rang.
It was my editor at the time, for the magazine I worked for.
And she told me, did you hear Kim Kardashian was robbed last night?
And then she told so, go on site,
go now, take your bag and go. Rue Tronchet in Paris.
When I got there, the police, I think,
got most of the information of what happened that night.
Kim Kardashian told them everything that happened to her
and also from the receptionist, the security guard.
The investigation is handled by the BRB,
La Brigade de Répressions du Banditisme.
It's a brigade specialized in banditry.
And they are really very good cops.
Kim Kardashian,
during her testimony, was really in shock.
She told police that there were two individuals.
That there was a big one and a small one.
That the big one was the one who gave the orders.
That the big one was the one who asked where the ring was
and then the money.
It was a big crime, it was the biggest in 20 years
for an individual person.
The robbers leave how they came.
The three same guys who came with bikes take them back to flee
and the two walking, go away also walking.
It's rare to see robbers fleeing with bikes.
Two left very quickly. The third was much slower.
Firstly, because his bike tire was punctured
and secondly,
he was responsible for carrying the jewelry.
He placed the heavy bag on his handlebars
and was totally unbalanced.
The two robbers on bike who managed to ride and escape,
they find a black car, a Peugeot...
...which is waiting for them not very far away in the same neighborhood.
They jump in it and go across Paris and to the suburbs.
The images of this car are important for the policemen.
It's the first big clue in the investigation.
After the robbery, Kim fell off the face of the earth,
really pulled everything, everything back.
There was a huge gap in her social media timelines.
I got this sense that she was working through the shock,
that she was working through what a traumatic event this had been.
And her whole world was upended with this.
Tell me how Kim is doing, I'm sure everybody here is wondering, tell us.
I mean she's not doing that well,
I mean it's incredibly traumatic what happened to her,
but our family is super close,
and great, and we'll get through it.
And we do appreciate all your guys' love, and support.
And it will take time. It's horrible what happened to her.
- Yeah, can't imagine. - Yeah.
And so, is everything,
you're usually... Everybody's on social media,
everybody's Instagramming and Tweeting
and constantly... And everything shut down now?
Well, I think it's just a wakeup call to make a lot of life adjustments.
So I saw Kris about a month after the horrible incident.
And it was probably like 10 women celebrating Kris's birthday.
That was the first time I saw her at a dinner
with a private security guard, which I thought was wise.
And he just sat at a table, you know,
just kind of staring, making sure everything's safe.
The sense I got from Kris is just still very shaken up.
Very serious.
There were a lot of pressure put on the BRB
because of the name of the victim,
because of amount of the robbery
and also because of Fashion Week going on in Paris this month,
also, of course, because of the media attention that it created,
a lot request from the journalist, a lot TV,
a lots of social media rumors who were going on,
so they knew that they had to find the robbers very quickly.
Police officers from the PTS, technical and scientific police,
looked for various fingerprints
and DNA traces
on both Kim Kardashian's body
and on all the objects they could find in the apartment
because the perpetrators left a lot of things there.
I think that there were a dozen things
that were left by the perpetrators.
Plastic ties that are normally used for DIY
and that here, they were used to tie people up.
A roll of duct tape, and pieces of tape from that roll.
It takes a bit of time to get the result back,
but as soon as it's ready,
they know that the main DNA samples on the cable tie
is belonging to a guy named Aomar Aït Khedache.
And the other set of DNA that the police found
led them to a man named Yunice Abbas.
So they were able to get two names
out of this scientific investigation.
This is a big breakthrough.
Aomar Aït Khedache is a man in his 60's,
he's known for years by the police
for drug trafficking mostly and robberies.
Aomar's got a nickname, it's Le Vieux, Aomar Le Vieux,
it means Old Aomar, because of his age, obviously.
He's not that old, he's only 60,
but for a thug, it's maybe old, yes.
And the other guy, Yunice Abbas, also was known from the police
also for robberies and drug trafficking.
And he spent, like Aomar, a lot of time in prison.
At the same time, they are studying the DNA
found in the apartment of Kim Kardashian.
They are watching all the images of the CCTV,
hours of images,
to find and to focus on the black Peugeot
that probably was the car who took the robbers to the Rue Tronchet
and picked them up back afterwards.
Once they identified Old Aomar,
they also got the name of his son,
Harminy, who was the owner of the black Peugeot.
So they have now three names among the robbers.
Aomar, Yunice, and Harminy.
They don't arrest them right away,
they let them be and start to organize
tailing and phone taping
to let them take them to the other robbers
and to understand exactly what was the role of each of them.
They are checking all the cell phone lines going on that night
around the hotel of Kim Kardashian.
And they noticed that there are a few numbers starting by 07.
And 07 is a really recent phone line, and most of the times,
it's linked to what we call the téléphone de guerre in French.
So in English, war phones.
Now that they have Aomar's identity,
they are able to find phone lines linked to him.
And so they manage to link him to some other guys.
Especially a guy named Didier who is really close to Aomar
and whose nickname is Les yeux bleus because he has blue eyes.
Through the phone tapings and hearings,
and also through the tailing they are doing,
they notice that there is a problem starting to annoy them.
It's the fact that the jewelry are not selling fast enough.
It's complicated for a robber in this type of operation
to set up your operation without being certain
of being able to sell what you stole.
I made a profession out of robbery.
For about 30 years.
So regarding those accused, I know two of them.
Of course, I want to make it clear, I've never worked with them.
I know them either from prison or through a mutual acquaintance.
The golden rule is to have the buyer before starting a business.
If you have a ring that's worth 10 million and it's unsellable,
you did a bargain for nothing.
Aomar and his accomplices need someone
that has the contacts in Antwerp,
someone that knows the diamond dealers of this city.
This guy is named Marceau.
And he's in charge of the concealment and of reselling the jewelry.
Why do stolen goods comes to Antwerp? Because there are buyers.
The money's there. It can be quickly done.
It's like water goes to the sea, we say stolen goods come to Antwerp.
Diamonds will come in, being rough, being polished.
They will come from all over the world,
we're talking about hundreds of millions of euros.
I used to run a team in the diamond area for over a decade
which was specialized in all crimes related to precious minerals,
precious stones, and precious metals, actually.
Marceau Baum-Gertner, he's somebody we've seen before
in the diamond area.
Of course he's not a thief, but he actually brings the thief
in contact with the guy who's buying with the jeweler.
And of course he takes his percentage. He's a broker.
I used to sell in Antwerp.
It's world-famous, the place for old diamonds,
and there's no better place to sell.
Of course, that is work that is done beforehand.
So it would have been easy to sell Kim Kardashian's ring.
Most jewelers are very honest, correct people,
but there is a percentage of jewelers who are just plain criminal people.
Once we established that Mr. Baum-Gertner
indeed actually visited the Diamond district,
we said to the French colleagues,
we are ready to monitor his presence in the future.
So the next time he came to Antwerp, we were ready to receive him.
I got a call in the middle of the night from the French colleagues
saying like, something is going on.
We think that they're actually coming to Antwerp.
It's one of the most high-profile cases I worked upon here
in my career.
So we were notified that Aomar was coming to Antwerp
accompanied by Cathy.
I think she only came along to... If you're a couple, you're tourists.
Baum-Gertner was there of course as well.
The three of them met in a McDonald's.
You did a 3.5-hour drive from Paris. You're hungry.
I mean, where you go? You go to McDonald's.
I would go to restaurants, but they go to McDonald's.
Our job is a bit more complicated
than a normal investigative police unit
because we're dealing with highly sensitive goods
in a very special environment.
When Mr. Baum-Gertner met him in McDonald's,
there was one thing that was for me very remarkable.
He puts out his hand towards Aomar.
And Aomar nods very slightly. He nods with his head
and the other guy puts his hand back down.
So it's like we know each other, but we don't know each other.
Not in public.
I recall very strongly that Mr. Aomar was very, very cautious.
And then they walked together to the jewelry shop
and they went inside
and stayed there for four hours.
The shop they visited,
for us, it's a very known hotspot for fencing,
for buying stolen goods.
It's not the first time they came into the picture.
You can have as much cameras, as much of surveillance on foot as you want,
but at that moment, you wished you had eyes inside the shop.
But, I mean, you cannot just put a camera inside or a wiretap inside.
It's not something you do easily. There's a whole procedure to do that.
If I have to summarize what I think or I believed that happened that day,
and it's hypothetical...
...I think, that day, they did the final negotiations
and they concluded on a price.
They shook hands, what we call mazel.
They said, okay, we're gonna sell you the goods for that price.
We didn't see the money changing hands,
but we see somebody who's known as a big, big money launderer
and who has a lot of cash money,
going with a full backpack into a garage,
meeting the jeweler at the same moment and comes out after 10 seconds
without a backpack.
But it's... You don't see the cash.
This was so out of the ordinary, that we said this is something major.
But in the end of the day, of course, we never saw the ring.
We don't have the smoking gun, don't have the diamond,
that would have been great.
And maybe one day, the diamond will resurface.
I wish I could tell you where the ring was.
There are five men present at the hotel that night.
Two of them were allegedly the ones who went into Kim's bedroom.
Aomar Aït Khedache, nicknamed Old Aomar,
and Didier Dubreucq, Les yeux bleus, bright eyes.
There is also Pierre Bouainère, Yunice Abbas,
and a younger guy called Marc-Alexandre Boyer.
And there is also Marceau, who is responsible for the selling.
And after that comes the accomplices.
So one woman, former girlfriend of Aomar.
And there is also Aomar's son, Harminy.
On January 9th, 17 French policemen arrest 17 people.
At the same time, at dawn.
Some of them were in the south of France,
some of them were in the suburbs of Paris.
They all arrest together
so they are not able to call each other and try to escape.
Aomar is put in front of the BRB policemen,
with all the evidence, it's difficult for him.
So he finally admits everything, almost everything.
Yunice also, the other one who is caught by his DNA,
is also admitting almost immediately everything.
But all of the other men are denying everything.
- I knew that was it for me. - You thought you'd die?
100 percent. I said a prayer. I know I'm going to heaven.
I hope my kids are okay and my husband. I'm gonna cry.
I thought when she was on Ellen, she was subdued
and talked about how like she'd changed so much.
It was no secret, you've seen on the show, I was flashy.
I was definitely materialistic before.
Not that there's anything wrong with having things and working hard.
And I'm really proud of everyone around me that's successful,
but like, I'm so happy that my kids get this me,
and this is how I'm raising my kids
because I just don't care about that stuff anymore.
In the carefully curated world of Kim Kardashian,
having this happen...
Basically, it's like an asteroid hit planet Kim Kardashian.
It was meant to happen to me,
like the things happen in your life to teach you things.
And this was like...
- I'm just... - Yep.
Thanks.
I'm like...
And since that time, she shared more stuff about her kids,
about her house,
about her, you know, her life with her family.
And it was less...
She was less materialistic in her presentation.
She's saying that I did have a part to play,
because the Snapchat videos may have told the robbers when to strike.
I wanted to know if that was true.
I made a documentary on how criminals are using social media
to rob celebrities and influencers.
Yunice Abbas is one of the five robbers
who'd robbed Kim Kardashian in Paris.
I had seen him online
because he shamelessly wrote the book How I Robbed Kim Kardashian.
I interview a lot of criminals, people do regret what they've done.
But Yunice, he didn't really seem to care at all,
which I think, to the world, was quite shocking.
Guilty? No, I don't care.
Yunice didn't tell me exactly how he used Snapchat,
but he noted that she was posting
a lot of things online in the lead up to the event.
I went on the internet,
and it's true, I saw her jewelry, saw her ring,
I saw that she showed it everywhere
and we knew this information through social media.
We knew that she was coming for Fashion Week
so we went there to do some more reconnaissance.
So we were sure. We were there from midnight.
He said that they were monitoring her social media.
But since the interview, there have been rumors
that perhaps there was somebody working for them on the inside.
And, you know, maybe it could have been a combination of the two.
They worked out her location from someone working on the inside,
but they knew that she had a lot of money on her
from what she was posting online.
The robbers were nicknamed by the French press, Les Papys Braqueurs.
Grandfather robbers.
They have the age of her grandfather.
Most of them today are between 70 and 80.
And they are not in good shape. Aomar is deaf.
Everything is going to be subtitles for him during the trial.
I was certain that was the moment that he was going to rape me.
I absolutely did think I was going to die.
It was terrifying and life-changing
and I don't wish that kind of terror on anyone,
to think you could be killed or raped,
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
This is my closure and my opportunity to put this to rest
after everything I've been through.
I think for Kim, the Paris robbery was like the...
The inflection point.
It was the first time that this glamorous life that she was leading
turned around and bit her
and really affected her in a very human way.
I think she's had a lot of evolutions since then.
But I do think that the robbery was the key thing that happened to her
that made her re-evaluate the path that she was on.
