Interpol Suspect Berezovska Found Dead in Kyiv After Monaco Parcel Bomb Injured 3

3 articles · Updated · The Independent · Jul 7

Summary

  • Anastasiia Berezovska, 39, the Interpol-named suspect in Monaco’s June 29 parcel bombing, was found shot dead in Kyiv, with Ukrainian authorities detaining two men over her killing.
  • The bombing targeted sanctioned Ukrainian-born property mogul Vadym Yermolaiev at his Monaco apartment building, injuring him, his partner—who reportedly lost both legs—and their 13-year-old son.
  • One detainee is an active officer in Ukraine’s military intelligence and the other a former law enforcement officer, adding a security-services dimension to what had appeared to be an oligarch-linked attack.
  • The case has intensified scrutiny of Monaco, already under pressure over money-laundering controls after a 2024 FATF grey-listing and a 2026 €6 million fine against UBS by the principality’s regulator.
