Kim Kardashian's personal bodyguard Pascal Duvier filed for company BANKRUPTCY...


Kim Kardashian's bodyguard has deleted all references to her off of his social media accounts as MailOnline can reveal that he filed for bankruptcy for his German security company ten weeks ago with debts of more than €1million.

Pascal Duvier, 43, who was in a nightclub when the star fell victim to a £8.5million heist as she slept alone in her Paris hotel, lodged a claim for company insolvency at Heidelberg administrative court on July 22 this year.
His German ProtectSecurity firm, which has run security for a host of stars from Kim's husband Kanye West to the Black Eyed Peas, has racked up debts totalling €1,093,518 (£961,296).
The insolvency lawyer on the case told MailOnline: 'There is so much debt. There are many claimants. I cannot say the exact number. Lots.'


Reality TV star Kim, 35, was subjected to a terrifying ordeal in the early hours of Monday morning when five gunmen disguised as police officers and wearing ski masks to hide their faces bound and gagged her in the luxury Hotel de Pourtalès.
Mother-of-two Kim had been left alone in the suite while bodyguard Duvier went to high-end nightclub L'Arc with her sisters Kourtney and Kendall Jenner.
Bodyguard Duvier arrived at the flat two minutes after the gangsters escaped on bicycles with her £3.5million engagement ring - apparently after being alerted by a text message from Kim's best friend Simone Harouche.
Duvier, who has vowed to track down the attackers, has faced claims he left the star exposed by failing to secure the flat in his absence. 
Kim has reportedly told friends that she does not blame him for the crime. There is no suggestion Duvier had any involvement or that he is under any suspicion. 
By Wednesday afternoon, Duvier had deleted all references that he had worked for Kim from his social media accounts. 
That included photos of the reality TV star and pictures of him while he was working as her bodyguard. 
Duvier has not been fired by Kim or Kanye and according to TMZ, sources say deleting the content from his accounts is a safety measure to block possible thieves from figuring out the couple's whereabouts. 

The 6-4' selfie-loving security guard has worked for Kanye West since 2012, and won acclaim just a week ago when he saved Kim from being grabbed by prankster Vitalii Sediuk in Paris.
On his LinkedIn profile, Duvier says: 
'My goal as the Chairman of ProtectSecurity is build a security team around the protected person.'
He has apparently run the company for 19 years and his profile says he has lots of experience with high profile clients having worked for Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Will.i.am, the Pussycat Dolls, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Lana del Rey and Katy Perry.
The paperwork was lodged at the justice centre on the banks of the Neckar River at 8am on July 22. 
The insolvency document for the case said the company's 'inability to pay and debts' meant that a lawyer was appointed by the court to examine all its finances.
The lawyer told MailOnline that normally an insolvency specialist is appointed to help try to rescue a failing business.
He said: 'There is so much debt. There are many claimants. I cannot say the exact number. Lots.'
'It was known to me that Herr Duvier is the bodyguard of Frau Kardashian.'
The insolvency paperwork further states that claimants who say the company owes them money had until September 16 to file their claims.
The document says that the case should be settled through correspondence, which would spare any court appearances.
Part of the insolvency lawyer's job will be to ascertain whether the company has any money in any other accounts, any assets not declared or anything else of value which could be used to pay the creditors.
The claims will be assessed initially on the 10th of October.
Duvier was last seen at his security business premises in Eppelheim in recent weeks.
A woman who runs a hairdressing salon on the mini-industrial estate said:
 'He came here with his secretary but didn't stay long. Since then the blinds have been down and there has not been a soul here.'
The premises rent for less than £400 a month and are located next to various companies in offices separated by hardwood walls.
Educated in mathematics at Heidelberg University, Duvier spent time in his youth as a bouncer at discos and nightclubs in the famed academic city.
He went in the Bundeswehr to perform his mandatory military service when he was 18 in 1991. According to a friend who attended the same judo club as him, he signed on as a regular soldier for three more years.
The friend said: 'He liked the army. He went on to work at the NATO HQ in Heidelberg' - a facility which was shut down in 2013. 
The court documents do not list who the company owes money to or how much in assets it still has.
The revelation that Duvier's firm has filed for insolvency will be a further blow, after the attack on his star client.
