The wife of Ukrainian businessman Vadim Ermolaev has spoken publicly for the first time since last week’s bomb attack in Monaco, saying her family is fully cooperating with investigators as the international manhunt for the main suspect continues…
In a brief statement to Ukrainian media, Anna Ermolaeva said the family remained under intense stress following the attack and was working closely with law enforcement authorities. She added that she was not present when the explosive device detonated outside the family’s Monaco residence on June 29.
Meanwhile, as reported by Monaco Matin, Ermolaev is reported to be recovering in hospital after emerging from a coma, while his partner, Anna Nasobina, remains in critical condition after suffering devastating injuries in the blast. Their 13-year-old son, who sustained less serious injuries, has now been interviewed by investigators in France, with his testimony described as providing useful information for the inquiry.
The investigation remains focused on locating 39-year-old Ukrainian national Anastasiia Berezovska, who is wanted under an Interpol Red Notice. German authorities have searched her last known address and seized evidence for analysis by Monaco’s investigators, but she has not yet been found.
Authorities in both Monaco and Ukraine are now conducting parallel investigations into the attempted assassination, while three investigating judges in Monaco continue to oversee an inquiry that spans several European countries.
