A recent CNN exclusive report detailed a dramatic international crime involving an attempted bombing in Monaco and the subsequent death of the primary suspect. On June 29, 2026, an explosion occurred at the entrance of a residential building in Monaco, injuring Ukrainian-born business tycoon Vadym Yermolaiev, along with a woman and a child. Surveillance footage reportedly showed Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian national, disguised as a man, placing a package that detonated as a remote-controlled parcel bomb.

Days after the bombing attempt, Berezovska, who was subject to an Interpol Red Notice for attempted murder and criminal conspiracy, was discovered dead in Ukraine with gunshot wounds to the head. Ukrainian authorities subsequently arrested a military intelligence officer and a former law enforcement officer in connection with her death. The military intelligence officer confessed to killing Berezovska, claiming he acted independently, without the knowledge of his superiors.

The investigation has also uncovered a "torture chamber" at the home of the former law enforcement officer, further deepening the mystery surrounding the case. While both individuals arrested in Ukraine are suspected of involvement in Berezovska's murder and potentially the Monaco bombing plot, the full motives behind both the attempted assassination and her subsequent death remain undisclosed.
