Ukraine's National Security Service (SBU) reported that two men were detained: a current employee of Ukraine's military intelligence service (HUR) and a former law enforcement officer. The HUR employee admitted to killing Berezovska, claiming he acted on his own initiative without informing superiors.
The SBU stated that both suspects had transferred money to Berezovska's crypto and bank accounts, linking them to the attempted murder in Monaco. During a search of the former law enforcement officer's home, investigators discovered a basement resembling a torture chamber. The attack on Yermolaiev shocked Monaco, with Prince Albert II condemning it as an odious act.
The bombing targeted Yermolaiev, 58, a Ukrainian-born businessman now holding Cypriot citizenship. He and his partner were seriously injured while their teenage son sustained less serious injuries. The attack was reportedly carried out using a remote-controlled bomb placed in the lobby of an apartment building.
