Monaco Identifies Suspect in Parcel‑Bomb Attack as Interpol Issues Red Notice

Surveillance footage and phone records show planned reconnaissance, prompting cross‑border probes for accomplices and evidence sharing.

Overview

  • A parcel bomb exploded in the lobby of a Monaco residence on Monday, June 29, injuring three people including a wealthy businessman of Ukrainian origin and leaving one adult in critical condition.
  • Monaco prosecutors have identified the primary suspect as 39‑year‑old Anastasiia (Anastasia) Berezovska and asked Interpol to publish a Red Notice to seek her arrest in Germany.
  • Investigators say video surveillance and telephony work show repeated reconnaissance in the days before the attack and that the suspect deposited the package and remotely triggered the device.
  • A formal judicial inquiry for attempted murder and related offences is open with three examining judges assigned, and authorities are investigating possible accomplices after seizing evidence in Germany.
  • The case has revived lines of inquiry into a settling‑of‑scores motive linked to the alleged target’s contested business dealings and Monaco’s exposure as an international financial centre, which could spur more cross‑border policing and forensic cooperation.
