Nine men and one woman have been standing trial since April, with prosecutors seeking the toughest jail terms of 10 years for the four men accused of carrying out the robbery.
On the night of October 2-3, 2016, Kardashian, then 35, was robbed while staying at an exclusive hotel in central Paris. She was threatened with a gun to the head and tied up with her mouth taped.
Most of the stolen valuables were never recovered, including a diamond ring given to Kardashian by her then-husband, rapper Kanye West.
The ring alone was valued at 3.5 million euros ($3.9 million) and the robbery was the biggest against a private individual in France in 20 years.
Most of the accused are now in their 60s and 70s and have been dubbed the “Grandpa robbers” by French media.
They have underworld nicknames like “Old Omar” and “Blue Eyes” that resemble those of old-school French bandits of 1960s and 1970s films noirs.
The American star testified at the trial last week when she said she feared she would be raped and killed by the masked men who held her at gunpoint.
“I thought I was going to die,” Kardashian, who is among the world’s most followed people on Instagram and X, told the court, wearing a jewelled necklace.
The trial has attracted huge media attention and crowds have flocked around the court on Paris’s historic Ile de la Cite hoping for a glimpse of the celebrity.
– ‘I forgive you’ –
On Wednesday, prosecutors requested 10-year jail terms for the four men accused of carrying out the robbery, including its alleged mastermind, Aomar Ait Khedache.
Khedache is completely deaf and virtually mute, and had to read the sentencing demands from a screen.
The 69-year-old, who is known as “Old Omar”, has admitted to tying up Kardashian but denies being the robbery mastermind.
Kardashian told the court that she forgave him after hearing a letter of apology from Khedache.
