Kim Kardashian
Paris Robbery Suspect Dies Weeks Before Trial
Published April 27, 2025 7:37 AM PDT
One of the primary suspects in the Kim Kardashian robbery case in Paris has reportedly passed away just weeks before his trial was set to commence.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Marceau Baum-Gertner died on March 6 in Paris, though the specifics surrounding his death have not yet been disclosed.
Baum-Gertner was believed to be part of the group that threatened the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star at gunpoint back in 2016.
At the age of 72, he was scheduled to face trial on Monday alongside other alleged accomplices in connection with the $10 million theft.
According to exclusive reports, Kim Kardashian is expected to testify in the upcoming trial regarding the underground gang linked to the robbery. Her testimony is slated for May, marking a pivotal moment in the proceedings.
Kardashian had previously provided detailed accounts to the judge about her experiences during the heist, and this trial will afford her the chance to directly present her account to a jury.
During pre-trial questioning, Baum-Gertner declined to disclose the identities of his co-conspirators. Reports suggest that there was speculation he might consider cooperating with authorities in exchange for a reduced sentence.
