Suspect in Monaco 'mob boss' bombing found shot dead in Ukraine

A key suspect in the attempted assassination of a Ukrainian businessman in Monaco has been found dead in Ukraine, according to local media reports. The woman, believed to be the prime suspect in the high-profile case, was reportedly shot and killed in the vicinity of Kyiv.

International law enforcement had been searching for the suspect, identified by Ukrainian media as Anastasiya Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian national. Interpol had issued a red notice for her arrest on charges including attempted murder. European police forces were involved in a joint investigation as she was believed to have fled to Ukraine after the incident, possibly via France and Italy.

The businessman targeted in Monaco, Vadim Ermolaev, is a prominent figure known to reside in the principality, often described as a playground for the world's wealthy. The motive behind the assassination attempt remains under investigation, but the discovery of the suspect's death adds a new, grim chapter to the ongoing inquiry.
