Nearly nine years after billionaire reality TV star Kim Kardashian was bound, gagged and robbed at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week, the trial of nine men and one woman accused of carrying out the dramatic heist opened Monday at a packed courthouse in the French capital.

A trial has begun in Paris over the 2016 heist in which armed robbers tied up Kim Kardashian and stole millions of dollars' worth of jewelry during Fashion Week.

A group of men dubbed the "grandpa gang" were among 10 suspects who went on trial on Monday on charges of robbing reality TV star Kim Kardashian at gunpoint and stealing jewelry worth millions of dollars during Paris Fashion Week in 2016.
