The suspect was identified as 39-year-old Anastasiia Berezovska, who is wanted by Monaco authorities for attempted murder, placing an explosive device on a public road with criminal intent and participation in a criminal conspiracy, according to the Interpol notice released on Friday.

The explosion occurred on Monday evening in the entrance hall of a residential apartment building near Monaco’s border with France. Investigators said an unidentified individual left a package inside the building shortly before it detonated as three residents entered the premises.

The blast injured a man, a woman and a 13-year-old child. Monaco’s prosecutor has not officially identified the victims, but multiple consistent sources said the apparent target was Vadym Yermolaiev, a 58-year-old businessman originally from Ukraine who later acquired Cypriot citizenship, along with his partner and son.

The two adults sustained serious injuries in the explosion, while the child was taken to Lenval Children’s Hospital in Nice in non-critical condition. By Wednesday, the man was no longer listed in critical condition, although the woman’s condition remained unstable.

The investigation initially focused on a male suspect after security camera footage showed an individual wearing a black fisherman’s hat leaving the package. Subsequent inquiries led investigators to identify Berezovska as the primary suspect.

Photographs released by Interpol show a woman with shoulder-length dark hair. The Red Notice states that she has a tattoo on her right arm, possibly depicting a snake, and that she speaks German.

Late on Thursday, the Monaco prosecutor’s office confirmed that investigators had identified a suspect but declined to release further details regarding the investigation or a possible motive.

The bombing has drawn significant attention in Monaco, a small Mediterranean principality known for its extensive security measures and as a residence for many wealthy international business figures.

Yermolaiev has lived in Monaco since at least 2021. In December 2023, Ukrainian authorities imposed sanctions on him over business activities linked to Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014, a move that Ukraine and most Western countries do not recognize.

Authorities have not publicly linked the bombing to those sanctions or to any specific motive, and the investigation remains ongoing.

An Interpol Red Notice is an international request to law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a wanted person pending extradition or other legal proceedings. It is not an international arrest warrant but serves to alert member countries that an individual is sought by a national judicial authority.

Monaco investigators continue to work with international law enforcement agencies as efforts intensify to locate the suspect and determine the circumstances surrounding the attack.
