Summary
Surveillance footage restored by Ukraine's SBU shows the June 29 parcel-bomb attack in Monaco that left tycoon Vadym Iermolaiev fighting for his life.
Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko said suspects had tried to destroy the recording, but investigators recovered it as key evidence in what they describe as an attempted contract killing.
The camera had been installed near the scene in advance to confirm the hit had been carried out, according to prosecutors, suggesting premeditation by those behind the attack.
A woman and child were also injured in the blast, and Ukrainian prosecutors say a Ukrainian woman suspected of organizing the attack was later found shot dead near Kyiv.
