Interpol has identified Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian woman, as the prime suspect in the Monaco bomb attack targeting Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Ermolaev, his partner, and their son. The suspect is described as armed and dangerous, having allegedly disguised herself as a man during the incident.
Interpol Red Notice Details
A Red Notice posted on Interpol's website seeks Berezovska's arrest on charges of attempted murder and other offenses. The notice reveals she has a tattoo, possibly of a snake, extending from her shoulder to her elbow on her right arm. She is described as having dark hair, speaking German, and being born in Ukraine.
Attack on Ukrainian Oligarch
The attack occurred on Monday in Monaco, targeting Ermolaev, a wealthy Ukrainian businessman. The explosion caused significant damage to an apartment block, which was subsequently cordoned off by authorities. Ermolaev, his partner, and their son survived the attack, though details of their injuries remain undisclosed.
Authorities believe Berezovska may have fled the country. She is considered a high flight risk and potentially dangerous. Monaco police, in coordination with Interpol, are conducting an international manhunt.
Background and Investigation
Berezovska's motive remains unclear, but investigators are exploring possible links to Ermolaev's business dealings or personal disputes. Ermolaev has been involved in various industries, including energy and finance, and has faced previous legal challenges in Ukraine.
The investigation is ongoing, with Monaco authorities urging anyone with information to come forward. The case highlights the growing use of Interpol's Red Notice system to track suspects across borders.
