Executioners of the Monaco Bomber: Chilling Photos Show Hitmen Who Shot Suspect 4 Times in the Head After Discovering Her Grisly Torture Chamber
In a dramatic twist that has stunned investigators across Europe, the prime suspect in last month’s shocking parcel bomb attack in Monaco has been found executed in Ukraine, with two men now in custody for her murder. Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian woman, was gunned down with multiple shots to the head shortly after returning from the crime scene, authorities revealed this week.
The story began on June 29 when a makeshift explosive device detonated in the entrance of an upscale apartment building in the wealthy principality of Monaco. The blast severely injured Ukrainian-born businessman Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner, and their teenage son. The attack, which involved metal bolts and pellets, sent shockwaves through the affluent enclave known for its luxury and security. Berezovska was quickly identified as the main suspect. Surveillance footage reportedly showed a figure disguised as a man placing the package before fleeing toward the French border. Monaco police issued an international warrant, and Interpol released a Red Notice for her arrest on charges including attempted murder and criminal conspiracy.
Berezovska, who speaks German, evaded immediate capture and returned to Ukraine around July 1. What happened next reads like a thriller. Ukrainian authorities say two men — a serving military intelligence officer from the HUR and a former law enforcement official — lured her with cryptocurrency transfers. They allegedly shot her execution-style, firing four rounds into the back of her head. Her body was discovered buried in a forested area near Kyiv.
During searches of the suspects’ properties, police uncovered a basement room in the former officer’s home that resembled a torture chamber, complete with blood-stained mats, hammers, and other disturbing equipment. Authorities emphasized that there is no direct evidence linking this grim discovery to the Monaco bombing itself, describing it instead as reflective of one suspect’s personal profile. One of the detained men has reportedly confessed to the killing, claiming he acted on his own initiative without informing superiors.
The case has raised numerous unanswered questions. Was Berezovska working alone, or was she part of a larger network? Investigators are examining possible financial ties and whether the men were connected to the original plot. Some speculate the swift elimination of the suspect points to an effort to silence her and protect higher-level figures, while others see it as rough justice amid Ukraine’s complex security landscape during wartime.
The Monaco attack itself targeted a high-profile individual with reported business and political connections. Yermolaiev has been linked to significant financial interests, and unconfirmed reports suggest bounties or rivalries may have played a role. The incident has strained diplomatic nerves, highlighting vulnerabilities in even the most secure European microstates.
As the investigation continues, Ukrainian prosecutors are probing deeper into potential instigators behind both the bombing and the subsequent murder. The discovery of the torture room has added a macabre layer, fueling public fascination and conspiracy theories online. For now, the “killers of the bomber” remain behind bars, while the full truth behind this cross-border saga of violence, betrayal, and retribution is still unfolding.
