Summary
Authorities investigating the parcel bomb explosion in Monaco issued an arrest warrant on Thursday for the person suspected of orchestrating the attack. They also requested an Interpol red notice, widening the search beyond the tiny Mediterranean principality, according to Reuters . The announcement came three days after a parcel bomb exploded in Monaco, injuring three people. Investigators believe the blast was a targeted attack on a Ukrainian-born oligarch, rather than a random incident. An Interpol red notice asks police agencies around the world to locate and provisionally arrest a suspect pending extradition or other legal action. It is not an international arrest warrant and does not compel countries to make an arrest. French media, cited by Reuters , reported that the main suspect is a woman believed to be outside both Monaco and neighbouring France. Monaco shares an open border with France, with no routine border controls between the two countries, allowing people to move freely across the frontier. The ease of crossing the border has complicated the investigation, prompting authorities to expand the search internationally through Interpol.
