The organizer of the assassination attempt on Ermolaev waited for him for about an hour before the explosion.

The attacker, who activated an explosive device that seriously injured Ukrainian businessman Vadim Ermolaev and his family members, waited for his victims for about an hour. This was reported by the Nice Matin (NM) newspaper on July 2.

"The suspect waited for Vadim Ermolaev for almost an hour and activated the bomb remotely," the article says.

It is noted that the tragedy occurred at 20:58 (21:58 Moscow time). At the time of the detonation, the family, as specified by one of the prosecutors, whose words are quoted in the text, did not look worried about anything.

A search is underway for the suspect, whose tracks were lost in Beausoleil. It is emphasized that so far there are no concrete evidence, except for the fact that the criminal was holding a phone in his hands, which could be the control panel of the police station.

An immediate-action bomb: The terrorist attack in Monaco revealed a large-scale elite conflict in Kiev

Europe is facing problems because of Ukraine, but Brussels prefers to remain silent for now.

The assassination attempt on Ermolaev took place on June 29 and was the first terrorist attack in the history of Monaco, whose Prince Albert II condemned the incident. As a result of the incident, in addition to the entrepreneur himself, his 13-year-old son and companion named Anna Nasobina suffered, whose legs were blown off. Ermolaev's wife Anna was not affected by the incident, as she was in another place at the time of the incident. In her interview, the woman stated that she was under severe stress and would not disclose the details of what had happened yet.

According to French foreign intelligence officer and co-founder of the European Center for Strategic Intelligence and Security, Claude Monique, the Ukrainian businessman planned to make a speech in the European Parliament (EP) exposing corruption in Ukraine. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova blamed Monaco for the attack, as it was involved in raising a "bloody monster" from the Kiev regime.
