Ukrainian woman wanted in connection with Monaco bombing found dead

An officer in Ukraine’s military intelligence agency confessed to killing her, claiming to have acted on his own initiative Ukraine’s Security Service on Tuesday said it found the body of Ukrainian national Anastasiia Berezovska, who had been wanted by authorities in Monaco in connection with the bombing targeting Ukrainian business tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev. The security service, also known by its local abbreviation SBU, said an officer serving in Ukraine’s military intelligence agency confessed to killing Berezovska with the help of a former law enforcement officer. He claimed he acted on his own initiative and without telling his superiors, the statement said. Interpol had identified 39-year-old Berezovska as the main suspect. The police organisation named her in a Red Notice seeking her arrest on charges of attempted murder, placing an explosive device in a public place with criminal intent and criminal conspiracy. Interpol on Tuesday said it had no immediate comment and that the Red Notice on its website would remain until Monaco asked for its removal. The SBU said investigators had focused on the two men after discovering they had repeatedly transferred cryptocurrency and money through bank accounts to Berezovska.
