Key Evidence
Prosecutors have presented a wealth of evidence against the five suspects, including CCTV footage, phone records, and witness testimony. The prosecution argues that the suspects were motivated by greed and that Kim Kardashian was targeted specifically because of her celebrity status.
Kim Kardashian‘s team has maintained that she was unaware of any potential security breaches before the robbery occurred. However, the reality TV star did not report the incident to police immediately, sparking speculation about her involvement in the crime.
