The crime took place on the night of Oct. 2, 2016 during Paris Fashion Week. The robbers, dressed as police, forced their way into the glamorous Hôtel de Pourtalès, bound Kardashian with zip ties and escaped with her jewelry — a theft that would force celebrities to rethink how they live and protect themselves.

A week after Kim Kardashian testified in Paris about being held at gunpoint during a 2016 break-in, the court reached a verdict. Eight of the 10 suspects were found guilty, with two being acquitted.

Kim Kardashian expressed her gratitude to "the French authorities for pursuing justice" in a statement to PEOPLE after eight of 10 suspects were found guilty in court for the Paris robbery trial.
