Preston was arrested last week (5 August) in Versailles, with the alleged plot dating back to June.
According to the prosecutor, a person dressed like a flower delivery man arrived at the door of her ex’s brother alongside two accomplices, before ‘pushing and beating him up’.
The victim, who lost consciousness for a time, was able to flee through a window.
Two Rolex watches were reportedly stolen during the incident.
Preston is currently in police custody and is set to be brought before a magistrate today (14 August), reports Need To Know.
The investigation was opened for ‘intentional violence with a weapon and in a group’, ‘kidnapping’, ‘theft in an organised gang’, and ‘criminal association’.
Investigators have allegedly gathered enough evidence to consider Preston a possible instigator of the incident.
The influencer had reportedly criticised her former partner, a dentist, for botched work on her teeth.
