These strengthened oversight measures reflect Monaco’s commitment to maintaining financial integrity.
In a significant legal ruling, the long-running corruption case against AS Monaco owner Dmitri Rybolovlev collapsed on February 27. Monaco’s Council Chamber ruled to annul all legal proceedings, marking the end of a years-long legal battle.
Monaco’s culinary scene received global recognition as legendary chef Alain Ducasse was honoured with the Forbes Award of Excellence at the Forbes Travel Guide Summit. The prestigious event was held in Europe for the first time, with Monaco chosen as the host city.
In a heartfelt initiative, the Princely Palace of Monaco was illuminated in blue on March 1 to mark the start of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. This initiative aims to highlight the importance of early screening and public awareness in the fight against cancer.

Monaco’s climate in 2024 has been marked by extreme conditions, with the year ranking as the third warmest on record. The Principality also experienced a sharp drop in sunshine and the highest rainfall levels since the 1960s, highlighting the ongoing impact of climate change.
Music lovers were treated to an unforgettable evening at the Auditorium Rainier III on March 2, as the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, under Philippe Jordan, delivered a powerful rendition of Act 2 of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde. The performance captivated audiences with its emotional depth and technical brilliance.

On the sports front, the Roca Team secured a crucial EuroLeague victory over Paris Basketball on March 5, with a commanding 79-91 win. With both teams entering the game on equal records and recent losses, the stakes were high, but Monaco rose to the challenge with a dominant performance.
