A woman suspected of carrying out a bomb attack in Monaco last week that seriously injured a Ukrainian-born Jewish businessman has been found dead in Ukraine, and a military intelligence officer has been arrested in connection with her murder, authorities said on Tuesday.

The body of Anastasiia Berezovska, a Ukrainian citizen who was wanted by Interpol for the June 29 bombing, was found with gunshot wounds to the head and pistol cartridges nearby, Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office said in a statement on Telegram.

Two men have been detained on suspicion of killing Berezovska, including the employee of Ukraine’s military intelligence service (HUR) and a former police officer, the statement said.

The two men had communicated with Berezovska after she returned to Ukraine on July 1 and had made repeated transfers to her crypto and bank accounts, the statement said.

The HUR employee had confessed to killing 39-year-old Berezovska with the other defendant, the prosecutor general’s office said.

“He also said that he had not informed his superiors about his contacts with Berezovska, the money transfers, or any of his other actions, and had acted on his own initiative,” the statement said.

The two men were arrested on suspicion of committing murder and are also believed to be involved in the Monaco bombing, the statement said.

During a search of the home of the former law enforcement officer, a basement room resembling a torture chamber was discovered, it added.
