MONACO BOMB SUSPECT IS UKRAINIAN WOMAN – Anastasiia Berezovska was named as the chief suspect in an Interpol Red Notice
A Ukrainian woman is the main suspect in a bomb attack that targeted a wealthy businessman in Monaco, Deputy Prosecutor Morgan Raymond said on Friday (July 3), adding that the suspect had fled to Germany and had likely not acted alone.
Ukrainian-born Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner and son were wounded in the attack on Monday (June 29), other sources said earlier this week.
Anastasiia Berezovska, 39, was named as the chief suspect in an Interpol Red Notice, which said she was Ukrainian, spoke German and was being sought by Monaco for attempted murder, placing an explosive device in a public place with criminal intent and criminal conspiracy.
The principality, known for its casino and the luxury lifestyle of its wealthy inhabitants, is located on the Mediterranean coast, surrounded by France.
The attacker left a parcel in front of a building in Monaco and set off the bomb with a remote control when the three victims arrived there, Raymond told reporters.
The suspect then left on foot to nearby France and fled with a car that had been rented in Germany, driving back to Germany via several European countries, including Italy.
The suspect was later spotted in Frankfurt, a judicial source in Monaco said.
