Prosecutors 'Suspect Identified in Monaco Parcel Bombing'

A suspect has been identified in the investigation into a parcel bombing that seriously wounded a sanctioned Ukraine-born multi-millionaire and two others in Monaco, the principality's prosecutor's office said Thursday.

"An arrest warrant has been issued for the suspect, who will be the subject of an Interpol Red Notice from this evening," the prosecutor's office added. France's Le Figaro daily and BFMTV said the suspect, who was captured on CCTV wearing a black



fisherman's hat, is believed to be a woman who tried to pass off as a man.

Monaco's public prosecutor, Stephane Thibault, did not address this in his statement but announced a press briefing for shortly before noon on Friday.

He praised Monaco's police forces and "effective international criminal cooperation, both police and judicial," which made it possible "to identify, in a particularly short time, the person suspected of having carried out the attack."
