A Ukrainian woman suspected of a bomb attack targeting a wealthy Ukrainian-born businessman in Monaco was found shot dead late on Monday, Ukraine's prosecutor general's office said on Tuesday.

Prosecutors also said that they had detained an employee of Ukraine's military intelligence service, the HUR, who said he killed the woman together with another suspect.

Ukrainska ​Pravda reported, citing law enforcement sources, that the other suspect was a former law enforcement official.

Authorities identified the woman as "Ukrainian citizen Anastasiia Berezovska," a 39-year-old who last week became the subject of an Interpol Red Notice issued by authorities in Monaco.
