Overview
- A parcel-style explosive detonated in the lobby of a Monaco luxury building on June 30, injuring three members of a family who investigators say were specifically targeted.
- Interpol on July 3 issued a Red Notice naming 39-year-old Anastasiia Berezovska as the chief suspect and described her as a German-speaking Ukrainian with a distinctive right-arm tattoo.
- Monaco prosecutors say forensic review of CCTV and a witness account showed the suspect disguised herself as a man to plant the device and then remotely detonated it when the victims arrived.
- Investigators traced an escape route through France and Italy to Germany, where police searched a rented flat and vehicle and secured evidence to be handed to Monegasque authorities.
- Prosecutors say the device’s sophistication points to likely accomplices, two men briefly detained were released, one victim remains critical with major amputations and the case raises fresh pressure on cross-border policing in Europe.
