He continued, “I told him, I ask you, don’t hurt her. I repeated it. He told me, ‘don’t worry, we are here for money.’ I repeated another time, please don’t hurt her. He told me: ‘Keep calm and all will be OK. Don’t move or make a sound.’”

Abdulrahman confirmed that Kardashian pleaded for her life, citing that she was the mother of young children, as was previously reported. He said he served as a translator between the thieves and Kardashian.

The armed men left with a reported $11 million worth of jewelry—including Kardashian’s Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring, $1,000 in cash, and a cell phone. 

After the ordeal, Abdulrahman said he was freed by Kardashian’s bodyguard, along with her driver. He said he again served as an interpreter between the authorities and Kardashian as she gave a statement of the harrowing event.

Abdulrahman said Kardashian embraced him before she left the country on a private plane to New York City. Kardashian hasn’t made any public appearances since the incident.

The investigation into the burglary continues.
