Ukrainian woman disguised as a man main suspect in Monaco attack, authorities say

Interpol says the suspect is a 39-year-old Ukrainian woman as investigators pursue attempted murder and explosive-device charges.

  • Monaco authorities have issued an arrest warrant and requested an Interpol Red Notice for a Ukrainian woman in her 30s who is the prime suspect in a targeted bombing that wounded three people outside a luxury residential building.
  • Investigators discovered that the suspect, who is registered as living in Germany, allegedly wore a disguise to appear as a man while surveilling the building and executing the attack.
  • The primary target of the remote-detonated parcel bomb is believed to be Vadym Yermolayev, a prominent Ukrainian-born property tycoon and Cypriot citizen who has resided in Monaco since 2021.
  • The explosion severely injured Yermolayev's partner, resulting in the amputation of both her legs, while the businessman and his 13-year-old son were also hospitalized but are now in stable condition.
  • Detectives are currently exploring organized crime and foreign interference as the two main motives, noting that Ukraine had previously placed Yermolayev under sanctions in 2023 for allegedly paying taxes to Moscow through businesses in Russian-annexed Crimea.
