Der Spiegel cited a joint statement from the attorney general’s office, the Frankfurt am Main public prosecutor’s office, and the Hesse State Criminal Police Office.
“According to initial findings and investigations by the Monegasque law enforcement authorities, connections to Hesse had emerged,” the statement said.
Officers turned over the evidence to authorities in Monaco, the report said.
Interpol identifies the suspect as Anastasiia Berezovska, born in 1987 in Ukraine’s Luhansk Oblast. According to investigators, she traveled to Germany as a war refugee in March 2022 and lived for some time in a refugee shelter in Hesse. French security services say the 39-year-old has hunting experience and likely had access to legal firearms. She was recently registered in Hofheim am Taunus, authorities said.
Investigators suspect she did not act alone. They detained
two men but released them after concluding they probably were not actively
involved in the attack, Der Spiegel reported.
