Monaco authorities suspected Berezovska of carrying out the June 29 bomb attack against Iermolaiev.
According to investigators, Berezovska arrived in Ukraine on July 1, 2026. The authorities identified the people she had been in contact with and traced her movements.
Investigators discovered that Berezovska interacted with her family, a former law enforcement officer, and an active officer with Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) upon her return.
Financial records showed that both men had sent her funds using bank accounts and cryptocurrency wallets.
Knowing that both men had repeatedly transferred money to Berezovska via cryptocurrency wallets and bank accounts, investigators examined them as possible suspects in the attempted murder in Monaco.
During interrogation, the active HUR operative admitted to committing the murder alongside the other suspect, noting he acted independently without informing his superiors about his contact or financial transactions with Berezovska.
Officials stated her body bore gunshot wounds to the head alongside spent shell casings.
During urgent investigative steps, the active HUR officer confessed to killing Berezovska together with another suspect.
