Interpol has named a woman who is wanted over a bombing in Monaco which reportedly targeted a Ukrainian tycoon with links to Russia.

Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old from Ukraine who has a tattoo, possibly of a snake, on her right arm from the shoulder to the elbow, has been named as the suspect in a red notice – a call for her to be arrested wherever she is.

Berezovska has since been spotted in Germany, a source told the Reuters news agency.

A Monaco prosecutor said she was disguised as a man.

The parcel bomb blast in the wealthy principality was believed to be an attack on a Ukrainian-born ​oligarch.

He was named in local news outlets as Vadym Iermolaiev, with Ukrainian media claiming he has previously been targeted with sanctions because of his ties to Russia.

Speaking on Friday, the Monaco prosecutor outlined fresh details about the case – including about the device used in the attack.

A remote control was used to detonate the bomb, they said, and due to its complexity, police are investigating possible accomplices and those who may have ordered the attack.

A car with a German licence plate, which went through Italy and some other countries, was likely to have been used by the suspect, the prosecutor said.

Police opened an attempted murder investigation at the time but did not qualify it as a terrorism investigation, prosecutor Stephane Thibault said.

Three people were injured, including a woman who was in a life-threatening condition, he said earlier this week.

The other two are a man, who was no longer in a life-threatening condition, and a child, whose life was not in danger, he added.

The search for the suspect is continuing, and authorities have launched an arrest warrant.
