A suspect in the 2016 robbery of Kim Kardashian in Paris has died. 72-year-old man Marceau Baum-Gertner was the “fence” that worked with the crew that lifted $10 million in personal property, including her $4 million engagement ring, and died after receiving gang threats.
According to The Daily Mail, Baum-Gautner was nicknamed Rough Nose and was a prominent figure in the Paris underworld. Through his career he had convictions for stolen goods, forgery, robbery and more.
Baum-Gertner was scheduled to appear as a defendant in the Kardashian case next week. Kardashian will visit Paris as a star witness for the trial.
