Interpol Suspect in Monaco Package‑Bombing Found Shot Dead Near Kyiv

Detentions of a former security officer and a serving HUR employee have prompted probes into possible intelligence links while Monaco pursues an attempted‑murder inquiry.

Overview

  • A package bomb exploded at the residence of Ukrainian‑born businessman Wadym Jermolajew in late June, leaving him, his partner and their 13‑year‑old son seriously injured.
  • Police in Ukraine said they found 39‑year‑old Anastasija Beresowska shot to death near Kyiv late Monday and that shell casings were recovered at the scene.
  • Ukrainian authorities have detained two men in connection with her killing, describing them as a former member of the security forces and a current employee of the military intelligence service HUR.
  • German special forces searched Beresowska’s Main‑Taunus‑Kreis apartment and seized a vehicle after Interpol named her a prime suspect in the Monaco attack.
  • Investigators in Ukraine, Monaco and Germany are following leads reported by media — including alleged payments to the suspect, a purported bloodstained 'torture room' and a confession that denied state orders — but those details have not been independently verified.
