« Are you going to lock him up? » La Défense pleaded Thursday evening before the Paris Assize Court against « The clicking of metal handcuffs »either the Back to prison of « robberies » Accused of having stripped the Queen of influencer Kim Kardashian in October 2016. Me Frank Berton closes the march of the pleadings at trial of this robbery at 9 million euros in jewelrywhich took place in a Parisian hotel on the night of October 2 to 3, 2016, in the midst of Fashion Week. He pleads for the main accused, on the eve of the verdict. « In the end, there is only one question: are you going to lock it up? »
At 69, Aomar Aït Khedache is deaf and almost silent, suffers from diabetes and back. « From the start »he recognized the facts, in a case « Delirious » In terms of improvisation, very far from the work of a commando of criminals « Experienced »supports the lawyer. But the accusation, which describes it as « Sponsor »required 10 years in prison against him. « I ask you to live up to a decision that makes sense, not a decision that would be made on a television set, in a bistro »continues Me Frank Berton by asking the jurors not to be influenced by the celebrity of the star at 356 million subscribers, who testified on May 13.
“At this age, a firm conviction is perpetuity. You can try to make it alive, worth it. But no, because I ask you to be up to it. And it’s not just me who asks you, Madame Kardashian asks you « he says. Aomar Aït Khedache, who follows the debates on a computer screen where the notes of typographers are displayed and which is expressed in writing, disputes this role of « brain » of the operation. Tells him it’s another, « Ben »who has him « given » The plan.
« The problem is that when his DNA was found in October 2016, he became the anchor of the investigations »underlined his other lawyer. « Many things have been seen through the distorting mirror » From his heavy locker and « Ben » was not really wanted, according to Me Chloé Arnoux.
Adjurant the court to « Do not give in to a form of vindictive and cruelty »she asked for the confusion of the sentence which will be pronounced with a former conviction to 5 years in prison, which could allow Aomar Aït Khedache to avoid a new incarceration. A « Senior measured »a sentence « Who like haute couture would be tailor-made » for a man « 80 %invalid », Who « Can’t recur, it’s over. »
« Tomorrow, a conviction will intervene, it is certain, it has recognized the facts »started earlier Me Gabriel Dumenil, the lawyer for Yunice Abbas. The latter, 71, admitted to having arrived with two bike accomplices on the robbery, for « Make the lookout ». If the four men identified by the accusation as the « robbers » faced 30 years’ imprisonment or perpetuity for those in recurrence, the requisitions « Have a bitter taste » because they are « Too high » And « Not hierarchical »continued the lawyer, who criticizes the « Package » 10 years claimed for them all.
By condemning him to eight years, by deducting his pre -trial detention and by applying him probationary stay, he could escape the prison box, argues Me Gabriel Dumenil. Operated from the heart during his pre -trial detention, the accused suffered from Parkinson’s disease.
Yunice Abbas « Do not get into this room, does not wear a weapon, he does not see Kim Kardashian »he « Do not deal with upstream (preparation) or downstream (the resale of jewelry) »he said. Certainly he has « A legal past »he committed « A serious crime » but « Who has not enriched it » and who caused a « Trauma still significant, but which is starting to be repaired ».
“Friday, we will not hear the metal clicking of the handcuffs with the wrists of these. And it will not be serious, because it will be balanced, because you will have done the work of justice, neither below, nor below ”.
