“She has great respect and admiration for the French justice system and has been treated with great respect by the French authorities. She wishes the trial to proceed in an orderly fashion, in accordance with French law and with respect for all parties to the case.”
A jury will try 10 individuals known to the French media as the “grandpa robbers” for allegedly taking jewelry valued at millions of euros from the 44-year-old American reality TV star at Paris Fashion Week in 2016.
On Monday afternoon, the accused, with ages between 35 and 78, will appear in a court in the French capital.
