Polish police report that the suspect behind a parcel bomb that wounded a Ukrainian billionaire and his family in Monaco is a woman named Anastasiia Berezovska, who is allegedly disguising herself as a man. According to Monaco’s deputy prosecutor Morgan Raymond, Berezovska left a package in the foyer of the residential building before fleeing on foot and later fled by car, heading to Germany via Italy.
Sent to the Interpol Red Notice system, the 39‑year‑old Ukrainian is wanted for attempted murder, placing an explosive device on a public road with criminal intent and criminal conspiracy. Images released by Interpol show a woman with shoulder‑length dark hair and a distinctive snake‑like tattoo on her right arm.
Early reports confirm that three residents – a real‑estate developer, his partner and a 13‑year‑old son – were injured in the blast, with the adults suffering serious wounds and the child minor injuries. Victims were taken to Nice University Hospital and Lenval children’s hospital.
The suspect’s departure shows the growing challenge of cross‑border coordination. German police in Hesse announced that a 39‑year‑old Ukrainian woman’s rented apartment and the vehicle she used had been searched; evidence is being handed over to Monegasque authorities and the Hessian security services are in close contact with Monaco’s police.
Monaco’s public prosecutor Stephane Thibault praised cooperation between local and French forces, describing the attack as a “heinous crime.” Prince Albert II has also condemned the incident. The hunt for Berezovska is ongoing, with an international arrest warrant in effect.
