Interpol has issued a red notice for Anastasia Berezovska, the suspect in the Monaco explosion that injured three people, including Ukrainian tycoon Vadim Yermolayev. The suspect resides in Germany, and her escape route has been traced through France and Italy.
Interpol has issued a Red Notice, an international arrest warrant, for the suspect in the explosion in Monaco that injured three people, among whom is reportedly a Ukrainian tycoon, reports Nice-Matin, writes UNN.
Details
"Anastasiia Berezovska, a Ukrainian woman living in Germany, is the main suspect in the attack. During the investigation into the attempted murder of Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev, committed on Monday evening in Monaco, the suspect's identity was established. She is a Ukrainian woman living in Germany. Interpol has issued a Red Notice for her," writes the publication Nice-Matin.
The suspect is of Ukrainian origin, and her last known address was in Germany, the Monaco prosecutor said at a press conference held this Friday morning.
The investigation led to the identification of a German license plate "on a vehicle rented specifically for delivering a parcel" and tracking the suspect's escape route from France to Italy, then to other European countries before she reached her home, the prosecutor explained.
"An international arrest warrant has been issued for her," the statement said.

Recall
On June 30, an explosion occurred in a residential building in Monaco, which reportedly injured three people: Vadym Yermolaiev, his common-law wife, and their 13-year-old son. According to media reports, all three were immediately taken to the hospital.
It was immediately reported that the suspect had fled to France. The Monaco prosecutor's office classified the explosion as an attempted murder, not a terrorist act.
Media reported a possible connection between the Yermolaiev 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 Yermolaiev is the founder of the Alef corporation and one of the most prominent 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.
