- Marceau Baum Gertner, key suspect in the $10 million Paris robbery, has died unexpectedly.
- Gertner, a major fence worker with the gang, was held at gunpoint during the robbery.
- Authorities summoned Gertner to appear in court amid ongoing trials.
The authorities summoned the criminal-minded man to appear in court on Monday, amid the ongoing trials, after they caught him trying to find American buyers for the prized possessions he and his fellow gang members had stolen.
Authorities knew Gertner was closely linked to the Paris underworld and had many convictions, including robbery, forgery, and handling stolen goods.
Moreover, legal officials involved in the ongoing case against the former underworld gang member revealed that they were not informed about Baum Gertner’s untimely death. A note from the French Justice Ministry stated that Gertner's crimes were "to the detriment of Ms. Kim Kardashian," who is expected to fly to Paris as the star witness in the robbery case.
The cause of Baum Gertner's death has not been revealed yet, but a source told a media portal that the circumstances were unexpected. The source explained, "Mr. Baum-Gertner had been released on bail after his arrest over the Kim Kardashian robbery eight years ago and had been living in Paris while regularly reporting to the police."
The source further stated, "He was suspected of liaising with mafia gangs from across the world over the Kardashian jewelry, and criminals are known to have issued threats against him following widespread publicity connected to the case."
Despite the unfortunate incident, the trial is expected to take place on Monday. Lawyers have stated that Kardashian will fly to a European country to testify against the criminal gang members.
