Monaco police are hunting a Ukrainian woman, Anastasiia Berezovska, whom investigators say is the main suspect in a parcel bombing that injured a sanctioned Ukrainian businessman and two family members. Authorities say the 39-year-old suspect may have disguised herself as a man, used a dark bucket hat in CCTV images, and fled Monaco on foot before traveling by car through Italy to Germany. Interpol has issued a Red Notice, and German police have searched a rented apartment and seized a vehicle linked to her as part of an international investigation.
The blast occurred Monday evening at an apartment building entrance in Monaco just as the victims were entering. The reported target is Vadym Yermolaiev, a wealthy real estate developer and former Ukrainian citizen who now holds Cypriot nationality and has been sanctioned by Kyiv since 2023 over his business interests in Russian-annexed Crimea. He, his partner, and his 13-year-old son were seriously injured, though the child’s injuries were described as minor. Monaco officials have thanked French and German authorities for assisting in the fast-moving manhunt, while Prince Albert II condemned the bombing as a heinous crime.

Interpol has issued a Red Notice for a 39-year-old Ukrainian woman, Anastasiia Berezovska, in connection with a bombing in Monaco that authorities say may have targeted a prominent Ukrainian businessman and his family. The notice alleges attempted murder and criminal intent to place an explosive device on a public road. Monaco officials say the suspect, described as a German speaker with a snake-like tattoo from her shoulder to her right elbow, may have fled from Germany through France and Italy in a rental car. Investigators initially believed the attacker was a heavily built man, but CCTV review and witness testimony reportedly shifted suspicion to a woman disguised as a man. The bomb was detonated remotely, and the remains are being analyzed in France.
French and Ukrainian media identified the apparent target as Vadym Yermolaiev, a wealthy businessman originally from Ukraine and now a Cypriot national, along with his partner and 13-year-old son, though Monaco authorities have not formally confirmed the victims’ identities. The attack drew strong condemnation in Monaco, where Prince Albert II called it “an odious act” and said public services were mobilized to protect security. The incident shocked the small, affluent principality and prompted an international manhunt spanning Monaco, France, Germany, Italy, and Interpol’s alert system.

Interpol has issued a red notice for Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian national suspected of carrying out a targeted apartment bombing in Monaco that injured a Ukrainian-born construction magnate, Vadym Yermolaiev, and two others. According to Monaco prosecutors and media reports cited in the article, the June 30 explosion occurred at a residential building and appears to have been a deliberate attack: investigators say a woman matching Berezovska’s profile repeatedly surveilled the building in the days before the blast, then placed an explosive device at the entrance steps and detonated it remotely. Authorities initially misidentified the suspect as a man, but surveillance review and cross-border tracking through France, Italy, and Germany led investigators to believe Berezovska was involved. Interpol says she is wanted on charges including attempted murder, placing an explosive device on a public highway with criminal intent, and criminal association. Monaco prosecutors also believe the sophistication of the device suggests she may not have acted alone. The article notes that Yermolaiev was later sanctioned by Ukraine in 2023 over alleged business ties to Russia, but no motive for the bombing has been officially stated.
