## Key points

- Monaco royal cousin Antoine de Massy was found dead aged 29.
- An autopsy indicates he probably fell 40ft from a building.
- A suspected cryptocurrency link remains unproven.

## Summary

Antoine de Massy, a 29-year-old cousin of Prince Albert of Monaco, was found dead in a public garden on Sunday. An autopsy indicates he most likely fell about 40ft from a nearby building; a 42-year-old Ukrainian man has been arrested and is being held in pre-trial detention.

The man had been seen near the scene on CCTV and was in contact with de Massy, but declined to answer questions before a judge. He faces charges of involuntary manslaughter and failing to assist someone in danger. De Massy had founded a technology company and worked in Monaco’s blockchain sector; reports of a possible link to the collapsed exchange Zondacrypto remain unproven. The exchange’s collapse is under investigation in Poland, where estimated losses are at least €79.5 million.
