A Ukrainian woman, Anastasiia Berezovska, suspected of carrying out a parcel bomb attack in Monaco, was disguised as a man during the incident. The 39-year-old is wanted for attempted murder, placing an explosive device on a public road with criminal intent, and criminal conspiracy following the attack, which left three residents - a multi-millionaire Ukrainian businessman, his partner, and their 13-year-old son - seriously injured. The incident occurred on Monday evening, and investigators believe Berezovska may have had accomplices and spent several days casing out the target residence. Monaco's deputy prosecutor Morgan Raymond stated that the suspect was captured on CCTV cameras wearing a dark bucket hat before fleeing the scene on foot and hiring a vehicle to drive to Italy and then Germany. Authorities in Hesse, Germany, have confirmed that special forces searched a rented apartment and vehicle belonging to Berezovska on Thursday, securing evidence for the Monegasque authorities. Monaco's public prosecutor Stephane Thibault thanked police from Monaco and France for their cooperation in identifying the suspect swiftly. The victims of the attack have yet to be officially identified, but local reports suggest they are Vadym Yermolaiev, a wealthy real estate developer living in Monaco, his partner, and his son. The bombing is believed to be politically motivated as Yermolaiev has been subject to sanctions imposed by the Ukrainian government since 2023 due to his interests in the wine and alcohol business in Russian-annexed Crimea.
