Less than 48 hours after the bomb explosion on Monday, June 29, in Monaco, near the Palace of the Sun, the prosecutor's office issued another statement in the case, under which a preliminary investigation has been opened on charges of "attempted murder."
"The investigation is proceeding very actively with the support of the French authorities," said prosecutor Stéphane Thibault.
Recall
On June 30, an explosion occurred in a residential building in Monaco , injuring three people: Vadym Yermolayev, his common-law wife, and their 13-year-old son (the latter are citizens of Ukraine). According to media reports, all three are in the hospital; the condition of Yermolayev and his wife is assessed as serious.
It later became known that the suspect fled to France. The Monaco prosecutor's office classified this explosion as an attempted murder, not a terrorist act.
Media reported a possible connection between the Yermolayev family and international networks of fraudulent call centers in Dnipro. This refers to telephone fraud schemes that, according to investigations in various countries, operated under the guise of investment platforms and support services.
Vadym Yermolayev is the founder of the Alef corporation and one of the most famous developers and industrialists in Ukraine. His business interests include real estate, production of building materials, the agricultural sector, mining, logistics, and the alcohol industry. In 2019, the businessman renounced his Ukrainian citizenship and obtained citizenship of Cyprus. He also likely holds Israeli citizenship.
