Kim Kardashian is to testify in a Paris court on Tuesday nearly a decade after masked men robbed her at gunpoint of millions of dollars of jewelry during the French capital's fashion week, France 24 reported.
Ten suspects have been on trial since late April over the armed robbery in 2016, which saw jewelry worth some $10 million stolen from the reality TV star and influencer, France 24 reported.
The trial has attracted huge media attention, with close to 500 reporters accredited, and the courthouse on Paris's historic Ile de la Cite is expected to come under siege from fans hoping for a glimpse of the celebrity, according to France 24.
Kardashian is ready to "confront" her Paris attackers, her lawyers said last week.
"She is committed to attending in person," French lawyers Leonor Hennerick and Jonathan Mattout told AFP last week, saying she would do so "with dignity and courage".
