Bogata 77-godišnja nasljednica iz Monaka, Helene Pastor, nalazi se u bolnici u kritičnom stanju nakon što je na nju i njezinog vozača u utorak navečer pokušan atentat dok su odlazili iz bolnice Archet u Nici.
Ubojica se navodno približio automobilu koji je bio na putu iz bolnice u kojoj je Helen Pastor bila u posjeti svom sinu Gildu.

- Vidio sam ubojicu kako se okreće prema meni s velikim pištoljem i torbom. Mislio sam da ide po mene. Bojao sam se za vlastiti život - kazao je jedan svjedok za Le Parisien.

Helene Pastor i njezin vozač, koji nije imenovan, prevezeni su u bolnicu Saint Roch u Nici gdje se bore za život.
- Životi dvoje pacijenata su još uvijek u opasnosti i izgledi su neizvjesni - kazala je liječnica.

Francuski ministar unutarnjih poslova kazao je kako je šokiran zbog napada, a Albert od Monaka izrazio je potporu obitelji Pastor koja je zaslužna za mnoge nekretnine izgrađene na francuskoj rivijeri vrijedne milijune.
Policija je kazala kako vjeruju da je glavna meta ubojice bio vozač, a da je Helene bila kolateralna žrtva.
