PARIS (Reuters) - The son-in-law of a wealthy Monaco heiress shot dead last month was placed under investigation by a French judge on suspicion of having ordered the killing in an apparent attempt to acquire an inheritance, a prosecutor said on Friday.
Helene Pastor, 77, died late last month from wounds sustained during a May 6 ambush in the French Riviera city of Nice, near Monaco, when a gunman fired through the windows of her car. Her chauffeur also died four days after the attack.
