Explosion in Monaco: Police searching for suspect in Beausoleil

After the explosion, the suspect fled on foot into the adjacent French municipality of Beausoleil. The manhunt for the suspect has been running at full speed ever since. According to investigators, the identity of the suspect is not yet known to them.

Search operation and investigation

Rescue services and police are deployed in large numbers to secure the scene and investigate the crime scene. According to reports, the street has been cordoned off over a wide area while specialist units have begun collecting forensic evidence. Residents were urged to avoid the area.

According to authorities, the investigation is only at an early stage. Neither the exact sequence of events nor a possible motive are known so far. The responsible agencies in Monaco and neighboring France are coordinating the manhunt across the border.

According to BFM TV, surveillance cameras filmed the suspect prior to the act. The footage is currently being analyzed by investigators, according to the broadcaster, in order to reconstruct the man's escape route and possible accomplices.

Location and geography of the crime scene

Rue Révérérend-Père-Louis-Frolla is located in the densely built-up urban area of the Principality of Monaco. The lane borders directly on the French border and thus on Beausoleil, where the suspect fled after the explosion. This geographic proximity makes cross-border cooperation between the security authorities particularly important.

Authority representatives warned against premature speculation about the background of the incident. At the same time, they called on possible witnesses to contact the police. Further information is to be made public in the course of the investigation.
