'Monacogate': Prince Albert II's former trusted adviser tells police everything
Monaco's ruling Grimaldi family faces scrutiny as the European Commission considers adding the principality to its list of high-risk states for failing to meet anti-money laundering standards. This follows allegations from former asset manager Claude Palmero, who claims Prince Albert II sought to keep financial dealings opaque.

Palmero's statements, made during police interrogations, suggest deeper issues within the royal family's financial practices. His dismissal in 2023 and subsequent cooperation with investigators have raised concerns about the potential fallout for the monarchy.

On October 7, 2023, a squad of eight Hamas terrorists attacked Moshav Yakhini, killing 11 people, including civilians and security personnel, before being eliminated by police within hours. The Israeli Defense Forces' investigation revealed that the military was unprepared for such simultaneous attacks on communities.

The probe highlighted the bravery of police and civilians who engaged the attackers, ultimately leading to the elimination of all terrorists. However, it criticized the IDF for failing to defend the area adequately, as it had not anticipated a coordinated assault of this scale.
