In Kyiv, a court is determining a pretrial measure for the suspect in the murder of Anastasia Berezovskaya
A hearing has begun at the Pechersk District Court in Kyiv to determine a pretrial measure for Vladislav Reut, who is a suspect in the murder of Anastasia Berezovskaya. Berezovskaya is suspected of involvement in an attempted assassination of Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolayev in Monaco.
Judge Roman Novak is presiding over the case.
Before the hearing began, the suspect’s attorney, Anatoly Ivanov, stated that his client does not admit guilt.
“He is currently in a state of shock because, I repeat, he is a patriot who defended our country. And it is strange to him that this is how those who defended our country are treated. The family is under a great deal of stress,” said the defense attorney.
According to the lawyer, during the search, law enforcement officers did not find any prohibited items on Vladislav Reut.
“Some items with stains on them were seized. We’ll see what the experts determine those stains to be. A laptop, a phone, and a power bank were seized. And a printer, I think,” added Ivanov.
After hearing the parties, the judge announced a recess, after which the hearing on the preventive measure will resume.
Earlier, the Office of the Prosecutor General announced that two suspects had been charged in the case of the murder of Ukrainian citizen Anastasia Berezovskaya. They are charged with premeditated murder committed by a group of individuals acting in concert (Article 115, Part 2, Paragraph 12 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
On July 6, the body of a woman was found near Kyiv; she was suspected of attempting to murder sanctioned businessman Vadym Yermolayev in Monaco.
As a reminder, Interpol issued an international arrest warrant for Ukrainian citizen Anastasia Berezovskaya, who is considered the prime suspect in the case of the attempted murder of businessman Vadym Yermolaev in Monaco. Her identity has already been officially disclosed, and her photograph has begun circulating online.
Yermolayev’s hitman may be a Russian citizen, according to social media.
Prior to this, an explosion occurred in Monaco, seriously injuring Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolayev. According to our sources, Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolayev sustained minor injuries as a result of the explosion in a residential building in Monaco.
A large-scale operation is underway in Monaco to search for the perpetrator who attempted to assassinate Yermolayev.
