Monaco, Monaco. Monaco authorities suspect a woman of carrying out Monday’s bombing that injured three people in the principality, a judicial source said on Friday. The source added that the suspect had been spotted in Germany.
Victims identified
Ukrainian-born businessman Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner and son were wounded in the attack, according to other sources cited earlier this week.
Suspect fled through France
The suspect was seen on CCTV wearing a dark bucket hat and dark top and fled on foot to France, officials said earlier this week. At that time, officials had referred to a male suspect.
France does not have border checks with Monaco.
Arrest warrant issued
Authorities issued an arrest warrant for the suspect on Thursday. They added that the person would also be subject to an Interpol Red Notice, a request for law enforcement agencies to locate and provisionally arrest a suspect wherever they are found.
Attack details
The attacker left a parcel that exploded in front of a building in Monaco where the three victims live in a ground-floor flat, Monaco prosecutor Stephane Thibault said on Tuesday.
Further information expected
Authorities said they would provide further details in the case later on Friday morning.
