Monaco bombing suspect ‘shot dead in Ukraine’ as two people are arrested

  • A Ukrainian woman, Anastasiia Berezovska, 39, suspected of a parcel bomb attack in Monaco, was found shot dead near Kyiv on Monday night.
  • Two people, including an active officer from Kyiv’s Defence Intelligence and another law enforcement officer, have been arrested in connection with Berezovska's shooting.
  • Berezovska was previously identified by Interpol as the suspect behind a targeted parcel bomb attack in Monaco last week, which injured Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev, a woman and a child.
  • The Monaco attack involved a booby-trapped bag, remotely triggered, which resulted in the injured woman having both her legs amputated.
  • The motive for the Monaco bombing remains unknown, with speculation pointing to either Yermolaiev's business dealings in occupied territories or his alleged involvement in a fraudulent call centre network.
