American TV reality star Kim Kardashian has lodged a formal complaint
in France after she was filmed at her luxury Paris apartment following a
robbery by gunmen, her lawyers said Thursday.
Kardashian is also filing a civil party petition as the victim of “a
serious assault and a jewellery theft” on October 3 after French
prosecutors formally opened an investigation.
The statement from her lawyers said the video was made “without her consent or the police’s and while the police were investigating the
crime scene”.
The video, carried on several entertainment news websites, shows
35-year-old Kardashian fiddling with her mobile phone while police are
in the apartment.
No suspect has been arrested, but investigators are examining DNA
traces found in the apartment where five gunmen robbed Kardashian of
jewellery worth some nine million euros ($10 million), sources close to
the probe have said.
Kardashian, who is married to rap superstar Kanye West, filed a
lawsuit Tuesday against US website Mediatakeout.com for alleging in a
series of articles that she faked the robbery to cheat her insurers out
of millions.
A French source close to the probe told AFP: “There is nothing at
this stage of the investigation to give any credence to the theory that
this was somehow faked.”
