Monaco bomb mystery deepens as Ukraine’s security services are linked to murder of prime suspect

The murder of Anastasia Berezovska, the suspected bomber in a Monaco incident, has taken a new turn with evidence suggesting the involvement of Ukraine's intelligence services. Berezovska was captured on CCTV leaving a rucksack that exploded outside a Ukrainian oligarch's home, injuring him and his family. After fleeing to Ukraine, she was found murdered near the capital. One of the two men accused of her killing, Vladyslav Reut, claims he witnessed the murder by his alleged accomplice, Vitaliy Zhykovych, a former policeman reportedly linked to Ukraine's GUR military intelligence. The SBU intelligence agency found Berezovska's body and recovered bullet casings. French President Macron has urged Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Who is Vadym Yermolaiev, the Ukrainian tycoon injured in Monaco blast?

A bomb exploded at a residential building in Monaco on Monday night, injuring three Ukrainian nationals, including oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner, and their son. Police are searching for a suspect seen leaving an explosive device, which contained bolts and buckshot, at the building's entrance. Yermolaiev, a wealthy businessman who relocated to Monaco in 2021, was placed under Ukrainian sanctions in 2023 for business dealings in Russian-annexed Crimea. Investigators are exploring the theory that Ukraine's Security Service may have directed the attack as a warning. The woman is in life-threatening condition, while Yermolaiev and his son sustained less severe injuries.

‘He isn’t political’: the Ukrainian-born oligarch targeted by a Monaco bomber

Ukrainian-born oligarch Vadym Iermolaiev, a wealthy businessman with interests in real estate, agriculture, and vodka production, was injured in a parcel bomb explosion outside his Monaco apartment. The attack, which also injured his wife and child, occurred Monday evening. Iermolaiev, who previously held Ukrainian citizenship and now has EU citizenship from Cyprus, was reportedly targeted despite claims he is not political. Ukraine had previously imposed sanctions on him, alleging he continued to trade alcohol in occupied Crimea and pay taxes to Russia, which he denied. A more plausible motive suggested by sources is a connection to an alleged call center scam involving his son, Artur, who faced charges in Estonia for creating fraudulent investment schemes.
