On Wednesday, October 28, Monaco’s Attorney General, Stéphane Thibault, confirmed that a judicial investigation had been opened and assigned to an investigating judge, according to Monaco Matin.
The man reportedly denied the allegations during police questioning and subsequently declined to answer the investigating judge’s questions. He was formally charged with both offences, which prosecutors believe may relate to separate moments, and remanded in custody.
Investigators are continuing forensic examinations and other enquiries to establish the precise sequence of events leading to Antoine de Massy’s fatal fall. The accused remains presumed innocent while judicial proceedings continue.
