Interpol issues red notice for Ukrainian woman over Monaco bombing.
Interpol has issued a red notice for 39-year-old Ukrainian woman Anastasiia Berezovska, the main suspect in a bomb attack in Monaco that injured multiple people, including business tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev. The suspect allegedly disguised herself as a man and used a remote control to trigger the explosion.
Interpol has issued a red notice for a Ukrainian woman over a bomb attack in Monaco earlier this week. The organization named 39-year-old Anastasiia Berezovska as the main suspect in the bombing, which took place on Monday evening and left multiple people injured. Ukrainian business tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev was reportedly one of those wounded in the attack.
A prosecutor told reporters that the suspect had been sitting on a bench in the Place des Moulins before placing an explosive device outside the building where the victims were staying as they returned from dinner. "The individual turned round to check that the three victims were there and then used a remote control to trigger the explosion," the prosecutor said, adding that the suspect had carried out "several reconnaissance missions" in the days leading up to the bombing.
Officials in Monaco say they believe she was "disguised as a man" and may not have acted alone. Investigators later identified a car with German number plates believed to have been used by the suspect, who prosecutors say disguised herself as a man to carry out the attack. The car was traced through Monaco, France and into Italy, the prosecutor added.
A red notice requests law enforcement agencies around the world to locate and provisionally arrest an individual. It is not an international arrest warrant. The alert says Berezovska speaks German, has dark hair and has a tattoo — possibly of a snake — on her upper right arm.
