Interpol has issued a wanted notice for Anastasia Berezovska, 39, a Ukrainian national suspected of planting an explosive device in Monaco that seriously wounded Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolayev and his family. She was last seen in Germany, according to the report.
Interpol has issued an international wanted notice for Anastasia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian citizen, as the suspect in the bombing that wounded Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolayev and his family in Monaco. The notice marks the latest escalation in a manhunt that has expanded over recent days. According to the report, Berezovska was last seen in Germany — a development that aligns with earlier indications that she had fled there from Italy after the attack.
The investigation has unfolded in stages. On Tuesday, June 30, Monaco's Minister of State described the bombing as 'unprecedented' for the principality, and authorities confirmed the device was an improvised bomb that caused life-threatening wounds. By Friday, July 3, Interpol issued a search request for a female suspect (version 2), then identified her as Berezovska (version 3), and in the same day also reported she had disguised herself as a man, fled to Italy, and evaded a police raid on her Frankfurt apartment minutes before officers arrived (version 4). The suspect's identity and cross-border movements are now corroborated by multiple newsrooms and police sources.
As The Zioneer has reported, the attack injured seven people, including Yermolayev, his wife, and their 13-year-old son, and was the first of its kind in Monaco. A related incident — Germany's indictment of a Ukrainian national for the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage — provides contextual background on the involvement of Ukrainian nationals in major European security incidents, though no direct link has been established to the Monaco case.
It remains unclear whether Berezovska acted alone or as part of a larger network. Her current whereabouts are unknown; while she was last seen in Germany, earlier reports suggested she had fled to Italy, and the discrepancy between these two locations has not been resolved.
