Monaco heiress, 77, and her chauffeur die of their wounds after being shot in Mafia-style hit

The head of one of Monaco's richest families has died from gunshot wounds following a suspected Mafia hit.
Hélène Pastor, a 77-year-old heiress who was close to the royals who run the Mediterranean principality, was hit by a hail of bullets on May 6.
She and her chauffeur were attacked outside L'Archet hospital in the French city of Nice, which is a short drive from Monaco.


Now Mrs Pastor has died in Nice's St Roch hospital, where medics had carried out a number of operations.
Her driver, 64-year-old Mohammed Darwish, also succumbed to wounds in the face, neck and stomach – dying on May 10.
Investigators suspect two of Italy's most notorious crime syndicates, the 'Ndrangheta and the Camorra, of carrying out the double assassination.


Both crime gangs are said to be building property portfolios on the French Riviera as they expand their field of operations.
Mrs Pastor's family own buildings worth billions in the area, and detectives believe the Mafia were trying to muscle in.
Mrs Pastor had been visiting her son, Gildo, who runs a car hire company, at the Nice hospital when a solo gunman struck.
