Monaco bombing unravels across Europe as suspect is found dead

A bomb exploded outside Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaiev’s Monaco home, injuring him and his partner. Authorities later identified Anastasiia Berezovska as the attacker, a Ukrainian woman with no known criminal record who fled across Europe before she was killed in a forest near Kyiv. Investigators say she acted as a paid foot soldier with alleged Ukrainian intelligence-linked accomplices, Vladyslav Reut and Vitaliy Zhykovych, who gave conflicting accounts. CCTV footage shows Berezovska spying on the target and placing a backpack at the doorstep; Reut has admitted involvement, while Zhykovych’s role is disputed. The case has raised questions about who ordered the hit and how wide the conspiracy extended across borders.

Monaco bombing case takes deadly turn as suspect found dead near Kyiv

Ukrainian authorities say Anastasiia Berezovska, the Ukrainian suspect in last week’s Monaco bombing that injured a Kyiv-born tycoon, was found shot dead near Kyiv.

Berezovska allegedly disguised herself as a man to plant the device in Monaco and fled across Europe.”,

Monaco bombing suspect unmasked as Ukrainian woman in disguise

The main suspect in Monaco’s bombing is 39-year-old Anastasiia Berezovska, a Ukrainian woman who dressed as a man; she’s named in an Interpol Red Notice after the attack that wounded a Ukrainian-born tycoon and others.
