According to an update in the Kim Kardashian robbery case, the reality star’s chauffeur has been released by French authorities.
It is not believed that he played a role in the infamous heist last October that resulted in armed assailants getting away with millions of dollars worth of jewelry.
But who did play a role?
Who the heck are the main suspects that have been arrested in conjunction with the scary incident that took place in Paris and which left Kardashian begging for her life?
According to major French network TF1/LCI, a handful of those taken into custody this week have confessed to the crime.
The report states that a total of six men were involved in the break-in; some of them have been identified, along with their roles explained.
As some outlets stated at the time, five robbers (the youngest age 54, the eldest age 72) disguised themselves as policemen and forced their way into Kardashian West’s apartment early on the morning of October 3.
There was also an accomplice (rumored to be the son of one of the robbers) who drive the getaway car.
Of those arrested, several are well known by French authorities for previous crimes, including cocaine, counterfeit trafficking and diamond theft.
But while it’s believed these six individuals were behind the crime that night/morning, 14 people remain in custody as of yesterday.
Among these people is a 27-year old named Gary M.. He worked in the past as Kardashian’s driver.
His brother, Michael, was the chauffeur in charge of Kim’s vehicle during the week in which she was robbed; he was released Tuesday night and is not being charged.
Moreover, two of the suspects – Aomar A-K. and Marceau B. – reportedly traveled to Antwerp, Belgium a few days after the heist.
This is noteworthy because that city is known as the diamond capital of the world.
Still, the stolen jewels themselves, which include a $ 4 million ring gifted to Kardashian not long before this incident took place, have not been found.
“Any updates makes her relive everything,” an insider told People Magazine of Kim’s reaction to the latest news. “It’s still very tough for her to deal with.”
But she is trying to move on with her life.
As you can see above and below, Kardashian continues to update her social media accounts.
(She also keeps trying to make nice with Beyonce, apparently.)
The mother of two shared all three photos featured in this article on Instagram yesterday; first posing with Scott Disick, then having Kanye West admire her butt and then giving us a cute look at son Saint West:
It also sounds as of Kim is planning her first public appearance since the robbery.
“On our way, #dubai,” Kardashian captioned the picture way above of her and Disick.
She then posted a Snapchat video of herself donning oversized goggles on board an airplane, telling followers:
“All, you need laser goggles when you do a laser treatment. So these are perfect for plane lasers.”
Kim is yet to speak directly on rumors that she may divorce Kanye, but it may be worth noting what she wrote as a caption to the picture of the couple above.
“He always has my back,” she said of her husband.
Yes, Kim was being (literally) cheeky in this case, considering Kanye is staring at her rear end.
But it’s safe to assume she’s also sending a message to the haters and critics out there. And it probably goes something like this:
Shut the eff up. We’re all good.
