Two weeks after Kim Kardashian West’s Paris robbery, the concierge involved in the harrowing ordeal has accused the hotel of lacking solid security.
Speaking to MailOnline, the 39-year-old known only as Abdulrahman said, “There was no real security at all. It’s a choice. The hotel doesn’t mind about security.”
Five masked robbers entered the complex in the early hours of Monday, October 3, and handcuffed Abdulrahman before barging into Kardashian West’s apartment, binding and gagging her.
The thieves stole $14 million in jewellery and escaped on local hire bicycles.

Abdulrahman, who acted as an interpreter between the robbers and Kardashian West, claimed security warnings were ignored by hotel management.
"We told them [the hotel] years and years before, you have to make a camera, you have to put [in place] a security process, about keys. Nothing was locked, there was no proper security there," he said.
The Algerian native went on to say that the hotel door code had not been changed since 2010, saying "everyone knew it." And according to recently acquired evidence, it is now believed the five robbers entered the private hotel complex on Rue Tronchet using the code.
