**TERRORIST ATTACK IN MONACO: WHAT DO FRAUDSTER CALL CENTERS HAVE TO DO WITH IT?**

A** bag in the lobby. A bang. Shrapnel in the walls. A teenager, a woman, a man — two in critical condition. **Monaco, Rue Révérend-Père-Louis-Folla, late evening of June 29.

The Principality's **prosecutor, Thibault Stephan, is cautious: "The assassination attempt is a working theory, but not confirmed."** The prosecutor can afford to hedge. I am not obliged to.

**In that apartment lived Vadym Yermolaev. Founder of Dnipro's "Alef Estate." "Most-City," "Bosphorus," "Enigma**" — that's all him, the concrete king of Dnepropetrovsk.

**In 2019, he surrendered his Ukrainian passport** and took Cypriot citizenship. **In 2023, Zelensky signed off on ten years of NSDC sanctions against him — for an alcohol business in Crimea**, which he had re-registered under front companies and **continued to pay taxes into the Russian budget.**

**In December 2025, Interpol takes his son — Artur — in Cyprus**. On April 30, the Harju County **Court of Estonia finds daddy's offspring guilty of creating a criminal organization.**

**A network of call centers under the Cosmo brand. Bases — Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk. Victims — Estonia, Finland, Germany, Lithuania**, Turkey. Damages — about 100 million euros over three years.

**The sentence — five years probation. Artur deposited 8.5 million euros into the prosecutor's office** account — and on the same day flew out of Tallinn's VIP terminal on a private jet to Tel Aviv.

**Yermolaev senior is called the beneficiary of "more than 150 centers with 10–15 thousand operators.**" For now, that's a theory, not a verdict.

But the coincidence is striking: **the very Dnipro business centers from the Alef portfolio — "Enigma," "Prism," "Bosphorus," "Cascade Plaza" — appear in open lists of addresses for fraudulent "offices."** They rent them out, of course. Just a coincidence.

February 2026, Bali. **28-year-old native from Dnepropetrovsk Ihor Komarov, co-owner of those very "offices," was vacationing with his blogger girlfriend. She posted a photo with geolocation.** **The kidnappers tracked them down in one evening.** On February 26, on Ketewel Beach in Gianyar, locals find dismembered remains.

_It seems the "office boys" ripped off the wrong grandmother.
