Larissa, a former saleswoman at Monaco Watch Company, is contesting her dismissal following the high-profile robbery of approximately four million euros worth of luxury watches from the store on Wednesday, May 29. Initially classified as being “in an accident at work,” Larissa was later fired for “serious misconduct,” a decision she deems “illegal.” Watch the full robbery below: Two individuals remain on the run after the armed robbery of the ‘Monaco Watch Company’ store on Boulevard des Moulins at around on the morning of Wednesday, May 29.

com/OQwO1bt7O2 Larissa disputes her employer’s claims of showing solidarity. According to her, the only communication she received was a message instructing her not to show up at the store. Her employer officially terminated her on Wednesday, June 26, citing serious misconduct.
Larissa is now seeking legal advice and plans to challenge the dismissal in labor court. The dismissal letter from the store manager, Sergej Kruglikov, claimed Larissa violated safety protocols by opening the door to a man wearing a cap and dark glasses. Larissa refutes this, stating she never received proper training or signed any documents detailing such protocols.
She noted that the robber wore a beret and clear glasses, not items prohibited by the verbal instructions she received. Additional criticisms from her employer included not wearing an emergency call button, which Larissa contends was not accessible to her. In response, the Monaco Watch Company defended the dismissal, citing failure to comply with basic security obligations.
Now unemployed, Larissa is actively seeking work in yachting, cars, jewelry, and watches, leveraging her master’s degree in luxury management from the International University of Monaco. Featured image by Jack Brodie: the empty storefront of the Monaco Watch Company following the robbery.
