Monaco attacker fled by car to Italy then Switzerland and on to Germany

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 3 - The attacker who planted a bomb last Monday at the home of Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Ermolaev and his family in Monaco fled to France and from there to Italy and other countries before eventually landing in Germany, investigators believe. She reportedly did so using a car she recovered in Beausoleil, France, on the border with Monaco, where she arrived on foot after the attack. The car was registered and rented in Germany. This is what investigators in Monaco and France have reconstructed, as cited by Le Parisien. The 39-year-old Ukrainian woman is named Anastasia Berezovska and is known "for her ties to organized crime." After initially describing the attacker as "a man wearing a black jacket, a dark bob-style hat, and light-colored jeans," investigators discovered, thanks to a witness near Ermolaev's home, that the suspect was a woman. According to Monaco's Prosecutor General's Office, a red search warrant was issued last night by Interpol to locate and arrest the woman. She lives in Frankfurt, Germany, where she has now again been sighted. According to investigators' sources, the Ukrainian woman is not only wanted in Italy, but has been the subject of a worldwide operation. Monaco and French police were able to precisely reconstruct the woman's escape route after the explosion thanks to numerous surveillance camera recordings from public and private locations in the Principality. In France, she found a car that had been rented in Germany and parked in Beausoleil, near the border with the Principality. With that vehicle, with German license plates, she headed towards the border with Italy, probably in the Menton area. A prosecutor has said she did not act alone, according to AFP. The facts "seem to indicate" that the suspect "did not act alone," the Monaco prosecutor stated at a press conference after an international arrest warrant was issued for Berezovska. The prosecutor explained that the suspect was identified as a woman through "increased use of urban video surveillance," and the testimony of a person who had come into contact with the suspect helped "focus the search on a woman" who had allegedly carried out several reconnaissance missions in the days preceding the explosion and "who had disguised herself as a man." Monegasque authorities continue to refuse to confirm the victims' identities, but consistent sources indicate that the attack targeted Vadim Ermolaev, 58, a wealthy businessman originally from Ukraine and now a Cypriot citizen, as well as his partner and son. The latter was admitted to the Lenval Children's Hospital in Nice in a relatively emergency situation, while the two adults, whose lives were in danger, were transported to the CHU in Nice. As of Wednesday, the man was no longer in a life-threatening condition, but the woman's condition had not yet stabilized. A Monaco resident since at least 2021, Vadim Ermolaev has been subject to sanctions in Ukraine since December 2023 for his business activities in Crimea, annexed by Russia. This assassination attempt is a real shock for Monaco, an ultra-secure Mediterranean microstate of 2 km² with a population of just 40,000, a diverse and often very wealthy population. It was Interpol that named the attacker, saying she is wanted by Monegasque authorities for "attempted murder, placing an explosive device on a public road with criminal intent, and criminal conspiracy," according to the notice, which amounts to an international arrest warrant. The suspect, a brunette with medium-length hair, appears in two photos released with the notice, wearing a striped, short-sleeved shirt that reveals a tattoo on her upper right arm, "probably a snake," according to the notice. Her spoken language is German, Interpol said. She crossed the Italian border via Ventimiglia on the same day as the attack, well-informed sources said. The woman, who was driving a car with German license plates, then apparently traveled directly to Switzerland, according to the sources. Berezovska has recently been spotted in Frankfurt, Reuters reports on its website, citing a judicial source in Munich. After the attack, the woman fled on foot toward France and fled in a car rented in Germany, returning to Germany via several European countries, including Italy. German police said they searched the woman's rented apartment and car. "Evidence has been collected; the wanted woman is currently on the run," said the source cited by Reuters., (ANSA).
