SBU Restores Deleted Video of Explosion at Ukrainian Oligarch's Home in Monaco

Ukraine's Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko announced on Friday that SBU specialists had managed to restore a deleted surveillance camera video showing the explosion that occurred on June 29 at the home of Ukrainian-born multimillionaire Vadym Yermolayev in Monaco.

The restored recording was published on social media. Kravchenko stated that the perpetrators had installed the camera near the crime scene beforehand to confirm the order's execution. Despite the evidence being deleted, SBU experts were able to recover it.

The video shows three people climbing stairs when the explosion occurs. After the blast, a passerby takes the camera and flees.

Three people were injured in the explosion: Yermolayev, his partner, and his son. Ukrainian citizen Anastasia Berezovska, the main suspect in the case, was found shot dead near Kyiv in early July.

Two men have been detained in connection with her murder: one from Ukraine's Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) and a former SBU officer. They are suspected of planning the attack and recruiting Berezovska.

Yermolayev has been under Ukrainian sanctions since December 2023 for trading alcohol in Russia-occupied Crimea.
