TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - A Ukrainian woman suspected of a bomb attack targeting a wealthy Ukrainian-born businessman in Monaco was found shot dead late on Monday, Ukraine's prosecutor general's office said on Tuesday.
Prosecutors also said that they had detained an employee of Ukraine's military intelligence service, the HUR, who said he killed the woman together with another suspect.
Ukrainska Pravda reported, citing law enforcement sources, that the other suspect was a former law enforcement official.
Authorities identified the woman as "Ukrainian citizen Anastasiia Berezovska," a 39-year-old who last week became the subject of an Interpol Red Notice issued by authorities in Monaco.
Why was she wanted by Monaco investigators?
Prosecutors in Monaco believed Berezovska was involved in a bomb attack targeting Ukrainian-born Cypriot citizen Vadym Yermolaiev, who had faced sanctions from Kyiv since 2023, reportedly concerning his business interests in Russian-occupied Crimea.
Yermolaiev, his partner and son were wounded in the attack last Monday, which shocked the coastal tax haven and retreat for the rich and famous and was described by Prince Albert II as "an odious act."
Berezovska was identified by prosecutors, who at first mistook her for a man, her as a German speaker and noted a tattoo on her arm. She was thought to have crossed the border into France on foot, and then to have traveled on to Germany by car via other countries including Italy.
German authorities later confirmed that she had a rented apartment in Frankfurt that they searched.
