Monaco blast widens probe around Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev
Monaco is treating Tuesday’s explosion as an attempted murder and reviewing surveillance footage as investigators search for a suspect; reports say one of the injured residents is Vadym Yermolaiev, a Ukrainian-born oligarch with a Dnipro-based business empire who was sanctioned in 2023 for Crimea-linked activities. While his past and wealth explain why he’s in the spotlight, authorities have not yet established a motive or identified a suspect, and the investigation continues.
