Robbers are believed to have forced their way into the private apartment where Kardashian West was staying during Paris Fashion Week in October, tied up the reality TV star and stolen more than USD 10 million worth of jewelry. Authorities are focusing on the possibility that the robbery was an inside job.
A 63-year-old suspect, named by the prosecutors only as Yunice A., was handed preliminary charges of armed robbery in an organized gang, kidnapping and criminal association.
The third suspect, 64-year-old Marceau B, faced preliminary charges of handling stolen goods and criminal association.
Prosecutors also requested that the suspects be kept in detention.
