The robbery took place on October 2, 2016 at the Hôtel de Pourtalès during Paris Fashion Week. Nine men and a woman, dressed as police, forced their way into the hotel, bound Kardashian with zip ties, and stole roughly $6 million worth of her jewelry.

In the same judgment, the court granted the hotel 50,000 euros and a former receptionist at the hotel 109,516 euros, acknowledging the trauma he suffered after the heist.

The alleged ringleader, Aomar Aït Khedache, received an eight‑year prison sentence, with five years suspended. Other convicted participants received seven‑year terms, most of which were also suspended, meaning none are currently in prison.

The symbolic euro shows that courts can use tiny awards to affirm a victim’s suffering and demand responsibility, sending a message that justice is about more than financial payout.
