A Ukrainian woman suspected of planting a bomb that targeted a wealthy Ukrainian-born businessman in the tiny principality of Monaco has been found shot dead in Ukraine's capital, Ukraine's prosecutor general's office said Tuesday. Authorities detained an employee of Ukraine's military intelligence service (HUR), who allegedly admitted to killing the woman together with another suspect identified as a former law enforcement officer, Ukraine's National Security Service said in a statement shared online.Interpol had named 39-year-old Ukrainian Anastasiia Berezovska as the suspect in the Monaco bombing that occurred exactly one week ago. The blast in the lobby of an apartment building was widely reported to have targeted Ukrainian magnate Vadym Yermolaiev and his family. Yermolaiev and his wife were left seriously wounded while their teenage son sustained less serious injuries, according to French and Ukrainian media.The International Criminal Police Organization on Friday listed Berezovska under a "Red Notice" on its website, saying she was wanted in Monaco on charges of attempted murder and criminal intent of placing an explosive device on a public road.
