Interpol Names Ukrainian Woman as Suspect in Monaco Bombing
Anastasiia Berezovska is named as the chief suspect responsible for injuring Ukrainian construction tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner and son.
Investigation Details
Interpol has identified a Ukrainian woman as the main suspect in a bomb attack in Monaco that reportedly targeted a Ukrainian tycoon with links to Russia. The notice said that she was being sought by Monaco for attempted murder, placing an explosive device in a public place with criminal intent and criminal conspiracy.
Suspect’s Identity Revealed
The suspect was initially identified as a heavily built person appearing to be male, wearing a dark long-sleeved top, light-coloured shorts and a black bucket hat. A broader review of CCTV footage from previous days and testimony from a witness revealed that the suspect was in fact a woman disguised as a man.
Additional Findings
Two male individuals were taken into police custody as part of the investigation, but both were subsequently released. Investigators also identified a rented vehicle fitted with German license plates used by the suspect in Monaco. The suspect’s escape route from France and then across several European countries to her country of residence was traced.
Her last known address is in Germany, “a country with which judicial cooperation is particularly active”.
