Kardashian West chauffeur freed in €9m Paris robbery inquiry

Kim Kardashian West flew home to be with her husband Kanye West immediately after the robbery

Three people have been released without charge by French police investigating a Paris jewellery robbery that targeted TV reality star Kim Kardashian West.

They include her chauffeur in Paris, Michael Madar. The three were among 17 people arrested in co-ordinated raids across France on Monday.

Police are investigating whether the gang had inside information before the raid at an exclusive Paris hotel

The driver's brother is still being questioned by police, reports say. Kardashian West was held at gunpoint and tied up by the robbers while staying at a hotel in Paris in October.
She was targeted at the exclusive flat near Place de la Madeleine while her bodyguard looked after her sister at a nightclub.

The gang stole €9m (£8m; $9.5m) of jewellery, including a diamond ring valued at around €4m.
