Chilling images have emerged showing inside the hotel room where Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris.
Five masked men broke into the reality TV star’s flat in the French capital while she was asleep in bed.
The gang bound and gagged the 36-year-old mother-of-two before making off with £8.5m worth of jewellery.

One
is Gary Madar, the 27-year-old brother of Ms Kardashian’s 40-year-old
limousine driver, Michael Madar, who has been released without charge.
Gary
Madar and an accomplice called Florus H., 44, are said to have informed
the robbers of Ms Kardashian’s schedule while she was in the French
capital for Paris Fashion Week.
Madar and Florus H. accordingly face charges of ‘complicity in armed robbery and kidnapping in an armed gang.’

The
fourth man charged is Marceau B, 64, who is said to have travelled to
Antwerp, Europe’s diamond capital, to dispose of the jewels.
He has been indicted for concealment of stolen goods in an organised gang, and criminal association.
Marceau B. is also a career criminal, with more than 10 convictions
behind him, including one in 1998 for possession and transport of
counterfeit money, and one for aggravated theft.
Marceau B. was
released from prison at the end of 2011 and charged six months later in a
forgery case, but was finally acquitted last summer.
