Fugitive wanted over Monaco bombing found shot dead in Ukraine: reports
Key Points:
- Anastasiia Berezovska, wanted for the Monaco bombing that injured Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev and a woman, was found shot dead near Kyiv, Ukraine, with two suspects detained, including a current intelligence officer and a former law enforcement officer.
- Berezovska was accused of planting a bomb outside Yermolaiev’s apartment in Monaco, causing injuries to him and Anna Nasobina, who lost her legs in the attack; an Interpol red notice was issued for her arrest on multiple charges.
- After the bombing, Berezovska fled through several European countries before returning to Ukraine, where she was found dead; authorities initially believed the attacker was disguised as a man.
- Vadym Yermolaiev, a multi-millionaire sanctioned by Kyiv for his business activities in Russian-occupied Crimea, renounced Ukrainian citizenship in 2017 and became a Cypriot citizen; his son was previously arrested for fraud in Cyprus.
