A Ukrainian woman accused of planting a bomb in Monaco is found dead in a Kyiv forest. The international chase ends in tragedy.

After a parcel bomb exploded in a Monaco apartment in June, authorities hunted a Ukrainian woman named Anastasiia Berezovska across borders. Ukrainian security forces discovered her body in a forest near Kyiv, with fatal gunshot wounds. Two men – a former law‑officer and an intelligence officer – were charged with killing her. The case highlights deep cross‑border links between Ukrainian law enforcement and Monaco.

Woman suspected of Monaco bomb attack found dead in Ukraine

A parcel bomb exploded in the entrance hall of a Monaco apartment on 29 June, injuring a Ukrainian family. Ukrainian security forces chased suspect Anastasiia Berezovska across borders.

The SBU says her body was found buried in a forest near Kyiv, marked by fatal gun‑shot wounds. Two men – a former law‑officer and a current intelligence officer – were arrested and charged with her murder. Their investigation uncovered a basement that “referred to as a torture chamber” at one suspect’s home.

Interpol issued a red notice worldwide, calling Berezovska a fugitive for attempted murder. Ukrainian and Monaco officials are collaborating closely, sharing evidence to prosecute the case.

The attack targeted a sanctioned Ukrainian real‑estate developer, adding new tensions to cross‑border security. Authorities are still searching for other suspects linked to the bombing.
