Mia: Alright, so the Kardashian robbery trial in Paris is finally happening, like, eight years later? Seriously, can you give me the lowdown? What’s the elevator pitch here?
Mars: Okay, picture this: Paris Fashion Week, 2016. Ten people allegedly storm Kim's hotel room, tie her up, and make off with, like, $10 million in jewelry. We're talking about her engagement ring from Kanye and all.
Mia: Hold up, tied her up? Gunpoint? That sounds like something out of a movie. How did they get away with that?
Mars: They dressed up as cops, sweet-talked the hotel staff and then just barged right in. They even had inside information about when she'd be there.
Mia: Inside information? Who ratted her out?
Mars: Apparently, the driver for the Kardashians' transport company, Gary Madar gave coordinates to the crew which enabled him to feed them the exact details, like a double agent in a spy film.
Mia: Wow, that's cold. And isn't there, like, a tell-all book involved?
Mars: Oh yeah, Yunice Abbas, one of the robbers, wrote a memoir from jail. He’s basically saying, I did it, I regret it, like a villain having a change of heart.
Mia: So, a criminal confession? What about the other guys?
Mars: We've got arms dealers, jewel fences… You know, the whole ensemble.
Mia: Okay, but why is this only happening now? It’s been ages.
Mars: French courts have been swamped with terrorism cases. Plus, some of the defendants are older, so there were medical delays and all that. The wheels of justice turn slowly.
Mia: One last thing: is Kim going to testify?
Mars: Word is, she'll be there in May. Imagine her on the stand, telling her side of the story. Cameras are turned off of course! It could be the nail in the coffin.
Mia: Crazy! I'm glued to this one. Thanks for filling me in.
Mars: No problem. It's like a real-life heist movie meets reality TV.
