US reality TV star Kim Kardashian received a symbolic €1 in damages from the thieves who held her at gunpoint in a Paris hotel in 2016 and stole her valuable jewels, including her $4 million engagement ring, according to her lawyer. Kardashian testified that she feared for her life during the ordeal and sought the symbolic amount, along with another plaintiff - the hotel's receptionist.
The robbers, known as the "Grandpa Robbers" due to their age, wore ski masks and disguised themselves as police officers. France's largest robbery in two decades, most of the stolen jewels, including the engagement ring given by Kim's then-husband, Kanye West, were never recovered. The hotel receptionist was awarded about €110,000 in damages.
Kim forgave the mastermind of the robbery, now 69, who was sentenced to three years in prison, but the trauma of the event remains.
