Pascal Dauriac, one of the key figures convicted in the shocking 2014 murder of Monaco property magnate Hélène Pastor, has been released from prison after serving nearly half of his 22-year sentence.

The murder of Hélène Pastor, heir to a substantial Monaco property empire, sent shockwaves through the principality a decade ago. Pastor, who was 77 at the time, was gunned down alongside her driver in Nice after leaving a hospital where she had been visiting her son.
