Interpol has issued a Red Notice for Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian national identified as the primary suspect in a high-profile parcel bombing in Monaco. The targeted attack, which occurred as victims were entering their residential building, resulted in serious injuries to sanctioned multi-millionaire real estate developer Vadym Yermolaiev and two others. Berezovska now faces grave charges, including attempted murder, as international law enforcement agencies intensify their search for her following the explosion.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the principality, known for its high level of security and elite residents. According to reports, the explosion occurred when a package detonated as Yermolaiev, his partner, and a 13-year-old child were entering their premises. While Yermolaiev and his partner sustained severe wounds requiring intensive medical attention, the child fortunately escaped with only minor injuries. Prince Albert II of Monaco has officially condemned the attack, describing the bombing as a ‐heinous crime‐ that challenges the peace and safety of the region.
Investigative leads suggest that immediately following the blast, Berezovska was spotted fleeing the scene toward the neighboring French commune of Beausoleil. The investigation has since crossed international borders, with authorities securing critical evidence from a rented apartment in Germany linked to the suspect. Police are currently working to determine if Berezovska acted alone or if there were additional accomplices involved in the planning and execution of the assassination attempt.
As Berezovska remains at large, the Interpol Red Notice serves as a global alert to law enforcement agencies to locate and provisionally arrest her pending extradition. The case highlights the complex nature of targeted attacks against high-profile individuals, particularly those under international sanctions like Yermolaiev. The investigation remains ongoing as Monaco and its international partners piece together the motivations behind the attack and the logistical network that may have supported the suspect’s movements across Europe.
