Eight defendants, known as the "Grandpa Gang," were found guilty of their involvement in the 2016 heist. Sentences ranged from four to eight years in prison. Leonor Hennerick, Kardashian's attorney, expressed satisfaction with the outcome, stating, "Justice has been served, it's now done. She can now move on with her life." This sentiment reflected Kardashian's own testimony during the trial, where she described fearing for her life during the ordeal. However, the trial also saw two defendants acquitted, highlighting the complexities of the case.

She stated, "The verdict is really good for us...Hopefully he will be able to cheer himself and to move on with his life after nine years with a [inaudible] above his head." The case, which involved Kardashian being tied up in her hotel bathroom and robbed of $6 million worth of jewelry during Paris Fashion Week, captivated international attention. The lengthy trial and the eventual verdicts bring closure to a significant event in the celebrity world and the French legal system.
