Symbolic compensation granted to victim

The judge ordered the payment of the exact sum requested by the celebrity. This decision follows a civil case where eight people were found guilty of their roles in the incident. Kardashian and her stylist issued a joint statement expressing gratitude for the accountability and recognition provided by the justice system.

Receptionist receives larger award

A former receptionist at the hotel where the crime occurred was awarded approximately 109,516 euros. That amount is significantly higher than the symbolic sum given to Kardashian. The receptionist had originally sought half a million euros in damages for his own ordeal.

Trauma acknowledged by plaintiffs

The victims described the event as deeply traumatic and noted that its impact has remained with them. One plaintiff stated that forgiveness does not erase the trauma of the experience. Most of the stolen jewels were never recovered, including the engagement ring.
