Frenchman Who Robbed Kim Kardashian Dies of Cancer Aged 69

  • Didier Dubreucq, a member of the 'Grandpa Robbers' gang, died in June 2025 after being convicted for the 2016 Paris robbery of Kim Kardashian's jewellery.
  • The robbery occurred during Paris Fashion Week on October 3, 2016, when armed men, including Dubreucq, stormed Kardashian's apartment and bound her at gunpoint.
  • During his April 2025 trial, Dubreucq maintained his innocence, insisting he was mistaken for someone else, while eight other defendants were convicted for the theft of jewelry valued at approximately $10 million.
  • Kardashian testified she feared being raped or killed as a gun was held to her head, and after the verdicts she described it as 'the most terrifying experience' with lasting impact.
  • Due to Dubreucq's poor health from lung cancer and chemotherapy, the judge suspended most of his seven-year sentence, and he died one month after conviction without serving more prison time.
