Ukrainian woman shot dead after Monaco bombing suspect identified

4 min read

Ukrainian prosecutors reported that 39-year-old Anastasia Berezovska, sought by Monaco over a bombing that injured tycoon Vadym Iermolaiev, was found shot dead in Kyiv on Monday evening with spent pistol cartridges nearby. Authorities arrested a serving officer in Ukraine's military intelligence directorate (HUR) and a former law enforcement officer; prosecutors say the HUR officer admitted to the killing and said he had acted on his own initiative. Investigators found a basement resembling a torture chamber during searches, and prosecutors say they have provided available evidence to Monaco and are working closely with its investigators, raising questions about organised crime and governance.
