Ukrainian court remands in custody two men accused of killing Monaco bomb attack suspect
The two suspects were held without bail as prosecutors said the killing may be linked to the Monaco bombing case.
- On Thursday, July 9, the Pechersk District Court ordered two men into pretrial detention for two months without bail for allegedly murdering Anastasiia Berezovska, a suspect in the Monaco bombing of businessman Vadym Iermolaiev.
- Berezovska was identified as the primary suspect in the June 29 Monaco apartment explosion that injured Iermolaiev and his family before she fled to Ukraine and was subsequently found murdered.
- Prosecutors identified the suspects as Vladyslav Reut, a military intelligence officer, and former law enforcement officer Vitalii Zhykovych. Officials alleged the pair "repeatedly made transfers to Berezovska's crypto and bank accounts" before killing her.
- Reut confessed to the killing, claiming Zhykovych ordered him to shoot Berezovska in a forest near Bucha. Law enforcement agents recovered her body on Monday, July 6.
- Both men face potential life imprisonment if convicted, though the murder motive remains unclear as authorities investigate the connection between the Monaco bombing and the subsequent contract killing.
