On Sunday night, according to French Judicial sources who spoke with CBS Radio News, five people dressed as law enforcement officers went to where Kim was staying and got access to her room and robbed her. Tying her up and pointing a gun at her, the individuals robbed Kim of a reported $10 million worth of jewellery. No security was there in the apartment with Kim when [the robbery] happened.

From a recent interview with highsnobsociety.com :

How and why did you first get involved in judo?

A friend of my parents suggested it since my mother was against me being a boxer like my father. I went to a class to see it, and I liked it right away. That was in 1979.

What about bodyguarding?

I started in the German army. At the time it was mandadory to enlist in Germany and I thought it was a good idea to do something for your country.
