Kim Kardashian West and her family can sigh in relief as Paris authorities announced this week that 17 people were arrested and called in for questioning in connection with the Paris Robbery. But the relief may be short-lived. Authorities announced that they are looking into whether or not it was an inside job. Kardashian's chauffeur and his younger brother where among the 17 arrested. According to the Chicago Tribune, authorities have identified the brothers as Michael Madar, 40, and Gary Madar, 27. The Associated Press reports that the suspects range from 23 to 72-years-old.
Several of the suspects have had several run-ins with the law, including robbery charges. Authorities have not released further details about how they believe the theft was planned. Kardashian's body guard was not present when robbers forcefully broke into her private apartment, gagged her, and fled with $10 million worth of jewelry.
