The suspect in the Monaco bombing was found dead near Kyiv, as a new video, hours before the deadly attack on the Ukrainian oligarch with a Cypriot passport, is making the rounds around the world.

The 39-year-old Ukrainian woman allegedly attempted to murder Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Germolaev in Monaco last week, also injuring his mistress and their son.

As shown in this new video, Anastasia Berezovska entered a store in the French town of Beaujolais, right on the border with Monaco, a few hours before the explosion. In fact, this is the same town where authorities believe she fled after the attack.

“She didn’t speak any English”

Surveillance cameras recorded her buying a portable cell phone charger from the store in the French city.

According to a store employee, the woman “didn’t speak any English” and didn’t arouse any suspicion; she seemed “completely normal.”

As noted by Monaco Daily News, the investigation into the bombing in Monaco targeting Ukrainian businessman Vadim Yermolaev took yet another dramatic turn, as Ukrainian authorities announced significant developments in the case.

According to information released by Ukrainian prosecutors, Berezovska’s body was found buried near Kyiv; she had reportedly been shot several times in the head.

Since then, two men have been arrested as suspects in her murder, including a former law enforcement officer and an active-duty officer of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Service. Ukrainian investigators report that the intelligence officer has admitted to his involvement in the murder.

He was likely held in a makeshift torture chamber

During investigations related to the arrests, authorities also discovered what they described as a makeshift detention room beneath the home of one of the suspects. Video released by the prosecutor’s office showed bloodstains, plastic sheeting, and various tools, which led investigators to probe whether Berezovska might have been held and tortured there before her death, in a makeshift torture chamber.

Police believe that Berezovska returned to Ukraine on July 1, two days after the explosion in Monaco, and remained in contact with the two suspects, who allegedly transferred money to her bank accounts.

Despite these developments, the motive behind the attack in Monaco and the identity of those who ordered it remain unknown. Monaco’s judicial authorities continue to work closely with Ukrainian prosecutors as the international investigation proceeds.

€131,000 Bounty for the Oligarch’s Assassination

Investigators in Monaco continue to focus on identifying the individuals who ordered the attack, according to the Monaco Daily News.

It is recalled that Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Germolaev, 58, was seriously injured in the explosion, while his alleged mistress, Anna Nasobina, 46, had to have both legs amputated. The couple’s 13-year-old son escaped with minor injuries.

Berezovska allegedly carried out the assassination plot after being offered a bounty of 131,000 euros for the exiled tycoon’s head, before fleeing to Ukraine to collect her reward. However, her body was found in Kyiv on Monday night.
