Yunice Abbas, who wrote a book confessing to the heist, was the first defendants questioned Tuesday in the trial for the 2016 robbery during which Kim Kardashian was held at gunpoint.

The reality star was held up at gunpoint in a Paris apartment in 2016, which she has said has left her “scared to be alone”.

The trial over Kim Kardashian’s 2016 Paris robbery has begun with 10 defendants, after one suspect died and another was deemed too ill to stand trial. Kardashian is expected to testify in May.
