Monaco, June 29 – In light of a recent bombing that shook the otherwise tranquil Principality of Monaco, authorities have released CCTV footage of the suspect placing a bag containing the explosive device prior to detonation. The footage, captured on a nearby street surveillance camera, has been widely shared by eyewitness accounts and confirms the initial suspicions of authorities.
The bombing occurred at 10:45 pm on Monday, June 26, in Rue Révérend-Père-Louis-Frolla, a busy commercial district in the heart of Monaco. The explosion injured 18 people, while three are reported to be in critical condition and one in a stable condition under close observation.
The suspect, described as an individual with dark clothing wearing a hoodie, was seen placing a black plastic bag behind a streetlamp at the location where the explosion later occurred. Authorities have stated that there were likely additional security measures put in place to further safeguard potential victims following the CCTV footage analysis and forensic evidence found in the area.
An investigation into the bombing incident is currently being led by the Monaco Judicial Police, in conjunction with international authorities. The French and Italian intelligence services have also been involved, given Monaco’s cross-border status and possible regional connections to the incident.
