A major twist has rocked the upcoming trial over Kim Kardashian’s infamous Paris robbery… one of the main suspects has died unexpectedly just weeks before taking the stand.
According to a report by Daily Mail, 72-year-old Marceau Baum-Gertner passed away on March 6 in Paris. The cause of death remains unclear. Baum-Gertner was accused of being part of the gang that terrorized the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star in 2016, during a $10 million jewelry heist that shocked the world.
Baum-Gertner was set to face trial this Monday, alongside several other accused members of the Parisian criminal underground. Notably, Kim Kardashian herself is scheduled to appear in court this May, where she will recount the terrifying details of the night she was held at gunpoint. While she has previously described the ordeal to the judge, this will be her first time sharing her story before a jury.
Sources revealed that during pre-trial questioning, Baum-Gertner had refused to reveal the identities of his accomplices. However, insiders suggested he might have considered naming names in exchange for a lighter sentence. His unexpected death leaves many questions unanswered and adds a new layer of mystery to an already high-profile case.
