Interpol has issued a Red Notice for Anastasiia Berezovska, a Ukrainian national wanted in connection with the attempted assassination of Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaiev in Monaco, according to Le Figaro, BFMTV, and Interpol's official database.
The notice identifies the 39-year-old suspect as having dark hair, a snake tattoo on her right arm, and fluency in German. She is wanted on charges of attempted murder involving the use of an explosive device in a public place.
According to BFMTV, investigators believe Berezovska conducted several reconnaissance visits before allegedly leaving a bag containing an explosive device near the building where Yermolaiev was staying. Prosecutors also allege that she deliberately disguised herself as a man during the operation.
The explosion occurred on June 29 in what French media described as the first terrorist attack in Monaco's history. Yermolaiev and members of his family survived the incident.
Media reports have speculated that the attack may have been linked to organized crime, individuals connected to fraudulent call centers in Dnipro, or Ukrainian intelligence services, although no official conclusions have been announced.
Following the explosion, Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was working to identify the victims as a "family of Ukrainian origin" and was verifying whether they held Ukrainian citizenship.
