The Kim Kardashian Diamond Heist

In May 2025, eight people were found guilty of the robbery of reality television icon Kim Kardashian during Paris Fashion Week 2016.

In a shocking late-night attack, masked men disguised as police officers forced their way in, bound and gagged her, before fleeing with millions of dollars of jewellery - including the engagement ring given to her by Kanye West that was reported to be worth $4m alone. In the immediate aftermath, some accused Kardashian of staging the robbery as a publicity stunt, igniting debates about the price of fame in the digital age.

Now, set against the backdrop of the recent trial at the Palais de Justice in Paris, those close to the case reveal details of the crime for the first time, unpacking not only the harrowing details of that night but also the events that may have led up to it and the aftermath of the terrifying crime. Did Kardashian’s frequent and real-time social media updates, including posts showcasing her jewellery and whereabouts, help the robbers plan their heist? And where are the diamonds now?

Through first-hand testimonies from investigators who worked the case, friends of the family and reporters who have followed the case from the start, this documentary explores in forensic detail how the crime was carried out, the psychological impact it had on Kim Kardashian and the international investigation that led to the arrest of a group dubbed the ‘grandpa robbers’ - career criminals in their 60s and 70s.
