Main Suspect in Monaco Bombing That Injured Ukrainian Billionaire Found Dead in Ukraine

Anastasia Berzovska, the primary suspect in the bombing incident in Monaco that severely injured Ukrainian billionaire Vadim Yermoliev and his family, was found dead in Ukraine with gunshot wounds. The explosion occurred about a week ago near Place des Moulins in Monaco, critically injuring Yermoliev, his wife Anna, who lost both feet, and their 13-year-old son, along with four others suffering from shock and glass cuts.

Berzovska, 39, was identified after security footage showed her disguised as a man placing the explosive device. She fled the scene immediately in a rental car, traveling through Italy and Germany. German special forces raided her apartment in Hesse last Thursday, but she had already escaped. Ukrainian security services reported that Berzovska returned to Ukraine on July 1, two days after the attack, maintaining contact with family and two men suspected of involvement, including a former law enforcement officer and a current intelligence officer, who allegedly transferred funds to her bank and cryptocurrency accounts.

The attack is believed to be an assassination attempt on Yermoliev, a real estate entrepreneur who left Ukraine after the war with Russia began and settled in Monaco. Holding Cypriot citizenship, Yermoliev became a prominent figure in Monaco's nightlife, owning a Bentley registered in Ukraine and a luxury yacht. The investigation continues amid suspicions of a coordinated plot involving individuals linked to Ukrainian intelligence and law enforcement.

This development closes the manhunt for Berzovska, who was also subject to an Interpol red notice. The case highlights the reach of geopolitical tensions and criminal acts extending into Monaco, a country known for its peaceful environment.
