Overview
- The explosive device detonated at the entrance of a Monaco apartment building on June 29, injuring businessman Vadim Ermolaev, a woman and a 13-year-old boy in what Monaco prosecutors called an attempted assassination.
- On July 3 Monaco prosecutors and Interpol identified Anastasiia Berezovska from CCTV as the person who placed the device and issued an international notice after investigators traced her movements through France, Italy and Germany.
- Ukrainian authorities found Berezovska's body near Kyiv with gunshot wounds to the head and recovered spent cartridge cases, and officials said the discovery followed testimony from one of two detained suspects.
- Investigators have arrested an active military intelligence officer and a former police officer, say one has confessed to the killing, and report repeated bank and cryptocurrency transfers from the two men to Berezovska.
- Ukrainian security services have shared evidence with Monaco and continue to probe who ordered or organised the Monaco attack, a line of inquiry shaped by Ermolaev's ties to Crimea and past Ukrainian sanctions against him.
