Additionally, according to the Security Service of Ukraine, law enforcement found the body of Ukrainian citizen Anastasiia Berezovska, whom the law enforcement agencies of the Principality of Monaco suspect of an assassination attempt on a family, which resulted in three people being injured, including a child. According to the investigation, after returning to Ukraine, Berezovska was in contact with two men — a former law enforcement officer and a current officer of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
The Security Service of Ukraine reported that during the investigation, both men were checked for possible involvement in the Monaco assassination attempt. Later, the current officer of the Main Intelligence Directorate, according to the investigation, confessed to Berezovska's murder, which law enforcement claims he committed together with another suspect. Both were detained on suspicion of intentional murder by prior conspiracy of a group of persons.
Based on the testimony of one of the detainees, an investigative experiment was conducted during which law enforcement discovered Berezovska's body with gunshot wounds to the head. The investigation continues. The Ukrainian side also transferred all available information to the law enforcement agencies of the Principality of Monaco and continues to identify possible masterminds and others involved in the assassination attempt.
