Her remote-triggered bag bomb blew off the legs of a woman and injured two family members.
Anastasiia Berezovska, 39, is suspected of having fled through Europe after the bloody crime in Monaco.
The international wanted document states that she has a snake-like tattoo from her shoulder to her elbow.
The bombing shook Monaco at 9pm last Monday evening.
A woman wearing a black hat approached a residential building in the Place des Moulins area and placed a bag by a door.

Releases pictures of the female suspect
Soon after, Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolayev, 58, and his party arrived and went up the stairs to the house, writes The Guardian.
Then she remotely triggered her explosive charge.
Since then, police across Europe have been hunting the bomber.
During Friday sent Interpol put out a wanted list, looking for Anastasiia Berezovska, 39, in connection with the crime.
She is described as a dark-haired, German-speaking Ukrainian woman with a snake-like tattoo that runs from the shoulder to the elbow on her right arm, writes The Guardian.
Looked after the family
The 39-year-old is suspected of three cases of attempted murder. Yermolayev and two of his family members – reportedly his partner and 13-year-old son – were injured in the attack.
The woman had both her legs blown off according to French media.
The bombshell had stalked the oligarch and his family as they returned home from a restaurant.
She sat on a park bench and waited. Then she walked a little ahead of them and placed the bomb outside the door.
– The person turned around to confirm that the three victims were standing on the stairs and then detonated the bomb with a remote control, says prosecutor Morgan Raymond according to The New York Times.
Escape through Europe
After the crime, the 39-year-old fled to Germany through France, Italy and several other European countries in a rental car with German license plates.
German police have conducted a search of a car and an apartment near Frankfurt in search of the woman.
Berezovska is still at large.
According to the Monaco prosecutor, the 39-year-old had been guarding the oligarch and his family for several days before the attack. She had dressed up as a man, which tricked the police into first looking for a male perpetrator, writes The New York Times.
Believed to have accomplices
Raymond states that the “sophisticated nature of the bombing” has made investigators suspect that the woman did not act alone.
A probable motive for the attack has not been released.
The deed has shocked Monaco, which is best known for its high proportion of super-rich residents. Prince Albert has called it a “heinous act” and says that all resources were put into the hunt.
