Monaco Blast Linked to Large Fraud Scheme in Latvia and Estonia

Ukrainian multimillionaire Vadym Yermolayev, who is under sanctions, woke up from a medically induced coma on July 4 after an explosion on June 29 in Monaco. Investigators have identified the main suspect as Anastasia Berezovskaya, a Ukrainian citizen living in Germany, according to French media Le Figaro and BFMTV.

The case is linked to a large fraud scheme recently uncovered in Estonia and Latvia. Investigators are considering several versions, including a possible conflict between Yermolayev and Ukrainian criminal groups, as well as the involvement of foreign intelligence services.
