A Ukrainian woman wanted in connection with the recent bombing in Monaco has been found dead near Kyiv with gunshot wounds to the head, while Ukrainian authorities have detained two suspects in the case.
According to investigators, those arrested include a serving officer of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency and a former law enforcement officer. A court has ordered both men to remain in custody as the investigation continues.
The victim had been sought by Interpol in connection with the June 29 explosion in Monaco, which seriously injured businessman Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner and their son. She had been charged by Monaco authorities with attempted murder, placing an explosive device and criminal conspiracy.
Investigators are examining the circumstances surrounding both the Monaco bombing and the woman’s killing. The motives behind the murder have not been officially established, and authorities in Ukraine and Monaco continue to cooperate as the investigation progresses.
