Monaco Seeks Ukrainian Woman After Parcel Bomb Injures Three

Evidence seized in Germany has been handed to Monaco during an expanding international manhunt seeking a motive

Overview

  • A package left in the entrance hall of a Monaco apartment building detonated on Monday evening, seriously injuring a couple and their 13‑year‑old son.
  • Monaco's public prosecutor has issued an arrest warrant and Interpol published a wanted notice for a 39‑year‑old Ukrainian woman accused of attempted murder, placing an explosive device and membership in a criminal organisation.
  • German authorities searched a rented apartment and a vehicle in the Main‑Taunus‑Kreis, seized material evidence and transferred those items to Monegasque investigators under a legal assistance request.
  • Investigators say the suspect may have disguised herself as a man, speaks German, may not have acted alone, and two men briefly detained in the probe were later released.
  • The motive remains unclear and investigators are weighing links to organised crime or a private grievance while saying there is no current evidence of intelligence‑service involvement.
