The men who assaulted and robbed Kim Kardashian of jewellery with an estimated worth of around £4 million in 2016, walked free from a Paris court after being found guilty.

According to Sky News:

The court found the ringleader and seven others guilty over the raid at the Hotel de Pourtales. Their sentences ranged from prison terms to a fine, but with time already served in pretrial detention, none of those convicted will go to jail, and all walked out free.

One of them even wrote a book about it: I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian.

It doesn't matter that these men were 'grandpas' or that Kardashian is super-rich.

This kind of legal result sends a clear message to all criminals that it's OK to commit this kind of crime in France and to profit from the experience.

France evidently does believe in taking actions 'pour encourager les autres', unlike the British after the naval battle for Minorca in 1756 when they shot Admiral Byng, for not doing his utmost to recapture Minorca from the French, on the quarterdeck of HMS Monarch anchored in the Solent.
