Vadim Ermolaev: What we know about the Ukrainian oligarch reportedly targeted in Monaco bombing
Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Ermolaev, sanctioned by Vladimir Zelensky over business in Crimea and accused of running a scam empire, was reportedly injured in a bomb blast in Monaco
Jeez....the guys running major scam networks here at home don't even get a smack on the wrist!
Copy pasta
Officials in Monaco have described a bomb attack that injured three people on Monday as the first terrorist act in the European principality’s history. The target was reportedly Vadim Ermolaev, a Ukrainian multimillionaire sanctioned by Vladimir Zelensky and suspected of links to organized crime.
A man allegedly left a backpack containing a shrapnel-packed improvised explosive device near the entrance to a residential building close to the Place des Moulins next to the border with France. The bomb was apparently detonated remotely, seriously injuring a couple in their 50s and a teenage boy. The suspected perpetrator remains at large.
How did Ermolaev become rich?
The Dnepropetrovsk-born Ermolaev rose to prominence after the collapse of the Soviet Union, repeatedly appearing on Forbes’ list of the 100 richest people in independent Ukraine and ranking among the most influential figures in his home city. His net worth was estimated at nearly $400 million in 2014.
Ermolaev has interests in several sectors, including construction materials, real estate development and leasing, agriculture, and alcoholic drinks production.
