Although the video had been deleted, Ukrainian investigators were able to recover it News Analysis & Summary Ukrainian prosecutors have released surveillance footage that captures a suspect planting an explosive device at the entrance of a building in Monaco, moments before a blast that injured Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaiev and his family. The suspect was subsequently shot dead by police during the incident. According to investigators, the CCTV camera used to record the attack was actually installed by the suspects themselvespresumably to confirm the operation's success. The video had been deleted but was recovered by Ukrainian digital forensics teams. This case highlights the growing sophistication of targeted attacks involving surveillance and the challenges of cross-border crime. In my opinion, the use of the suspects' own camera against them is a ironic twist, but it also underscores a disturbing trend: private security vulnerabilities and organized threats against wealthy individuals. The recovery of deleted footage demonstrates the critical role of forensic technology in modern investigations, but also raises questions about Monaco's security protocols and the ease with which foreign criminals operate on its soil.
