Monaco's wealthiest woman had a SECRET hater...

Helene Pastor, the wealthiest woman in Monaco, and her driver were shot in broad daylight. Despite the high-profile target, the attack was carried out by seemingly unprofessional hitmen using a bulky shotgun, which initially puzzled investigators who expected a more sophisticated operation.

Commissioner Frison noted the untouched purse in the minivan and the use of shotgun ammunition, suggesting it was not a robbery and the killers were not experienced professionals. Witnesses described two men dressed in black, one firing and another acting as a lookout.

Investigators initially considered Helene's children, Sylvia and Gildo, as prime suspects due to the multi-billion dollar inheritance. However, both children received a staggering 500,000 euro monthly allowance from Helene, making a direct financial motive for murder seem unlikely at first glance.

Wojciech Janowski revealed that Sylvia and Gildo each received 500,000 euros monthly. Gildo's poor health also made him seem an unlikely planner, while Sylvia's decision not to marry Janowski suggested she wanted her inheritance to stay in the family.

Security camera footage captured the two assailants arriving at the hospital via taxis, with one taxi's license plate clearly visible. This led police to burner phones used to book the cabs, which were purchased in Marseille, and subsequently allowed them to track the shooters' movements to a hotel in Nice.

The security footage showed the shooters arriving in taxis, leading to taxi company records, mobile numbers, and tracking their journey from Marseille to Nice, including a stop at Hotel Azur.

A discarded shower gel bottle found in one of the shooter's hotel rooms yielded DNA, identifying Samine Said Ahmed, a petty criminal. This confirmed the amateur nature of the hitmen. Police then employed a 'fishing rod' strategy, monitoring the hitmen's communications to find their employer.

DNA from a shower gel bottle matched Samine Said Ahmed, a 24-year-old with a criminal record. His accomplice was identified as All Hayar Hamadi. Police decided to tap their phones rather than immediately arrest them.

Phone taps on the hitmen led investigators to Pascal Dauriac, a personal trainer with ties to Monaco's elite. Dauriac's phone records revealed consistent communication with Wojciech Janowski, Sylvia's boyfriend, during key events of the crime. Janowski, despite his public image, was deeply in debt and sought to inherit Helene's fortune through Sylvia.

A call from All Hayar Hamadi to Pascal Dauriac, a personal trainer with elite Monaco clients, provided the crucial link. Dauriac's phone records showed he texted Janowski during significant events related to the shooting and deaths.

Wojciech Janowski's motive stemmed from his failing businesses and massive debt. He believed that if Sylvia inherited her mother's multi-billion dollar estate, he could swindle it from her. Sylvia's cancer diagnosis two years prior intensified his panic, as he feared losing his financial lifeline if she died before her mother, as they were not married.

Police investigation, confessions, and bank records revealed Janowski was drowning in debt, his companies were failing, and he was siphoning Sylvia's assets. He believed Sylvia's inheritance would solve his financial problems.
