A 43-year-old man has been sentenced to seven years for a string of burglaries in the Principality, despite denying he had visited Monaco.
Monaco's criminal court has sentenced a 43-year-old Italian-Serbian national to seven years in prison for a series of burglaries committed across the Principality during the summer of 2014. The defendant maintained throughout proceedings that he had not set foot in Monaco.
The prosecution built its case on forensic and circumstantial evidence linking the accused to multiple break-ins during that period. The sentence reflects the court's assessment of both the severity and the systematic nature of the offences.
The case underscores the Principality's commitment to pursuing criminal matters regardless of the time elapsed, with Monaco's judicial system continuing to process cases from its files.
