Kardashian heist suspect freed for medical reasons

PARIS: A key suspect in the robbery at gunpoint of US reality star Kim Kardashian in Paris last year has been released for medical reasons, his lawyers said Tuesday.
Didier Dubreucq – nicknamed "Blue Eyes" – has been authorised to travel only for medical appointments, his lawyers Dominique Ousset and Victoria Anfuso, without disclosing the 62-year-old's condition.
A career gangster who had already been convicted of robbery and drug trafficking, Dubreucq is suspected of being part of the five-man team that robbed Kardashian of a ring and other jewels worth millions in Oct 2016.
Kardashian was staying in a luxury residence during Paris Fashion Week when she was held up by men who threatened her with a gun before tying her up, gagging her and locking her in a bathroom.
The men made off in the middle of the night with a haul worth an estimated € 9 million nine (RM43.7 million).
Six people are being held in connection with the case. — AFP
