The BBC will make a documentary about the millionaire diamond robbery of Kim Kardashian in Paris

The British broadcaster BBC has commissioned a documentary about the behind-the-scenes story of the million-dollar diamond robbery that Kim Kardashian suffered in Paris in 2016 and for which six of the eight defendants were convicted on May 23, the company announced this Friday.

The piece, which will be broadcast at the end of this month, will feature interviews “with family friends, police officers and journalists who followed the case” and seeks to “transport viewers to that fateful night when the American reality TV star was the victim of an armed robbery,” the network explained in a statement.

The documentary will reveal “new details and perspectives” about what happened, and will unveil the story up to the moment when Kim “faced her robbers in court last month”.
