Indonesian police have confirmed that body parts found on a beach in Bali belong to a Ukrainian tourist who went missing after being abducted in mid-February.
According to Knowledge Magazine, Russian and Ukrainian media sources say Komarov is the son of Sergei Komarov, a notorious crime boss in the city of Kramatorsk. At the time of the incident, he was reportedly on vacation in Bali with his girlfriend, Ukrainian blogger Eva Mishalova, and a friend named Yermak Petrovsky.
Petrovsky has been identified as the son of Alexander “Narik” Petrovsky, a businessman and crime boss in the city of Dnipro, a figure frequently mentioned in organized crime structures in the region.

In the ransom video and several related news articles, Komarov is alleged to be linked to a scam call center network operating in Dnipro, which specializes in targeting the elderly.
According to Komarov himself in the video, these centers operate under the “protection” of Alexander Petrovsky and are shielded by certain individuals within law enforcement and regional authorities. However, these allegations have not been independently confirmed by the authorities. Narik has also never been convicted of any crime.
A video, allegedly filmed around February 19th, shows Komarov with multiple injuries to his face and body, begging his parents to pay the ransom.
In the clip, he says he is taking medication, states that his legs and ribs have been broken, his chest has been punctured, and warns that infection could occur. Komarov fears further torture if the requested money is not transferred.
He repeatedly asserted that the $10 million ransom was actually money that his captors claimed his family had taken from a criminal organization behind a large-scale fraud ring.
Komarov said the abductor group was a highly organized group and warned that no one could interfere, including the police or other criminal gangs. He pleaded with his family to transfer money to designated cryptocurrency wallets, saying it might be the only way to save him.
According to Dan Tri newspaper, India Today reported that after the kidnapping, a video allegedly showing Igor Komarov tied up and beaten circulated on social media. In the video, the man, believed to be the victim, says in a panicked voice: “I’ve been kidnapped. If my mother doesn’t pay the ransom, they’ll kill me.”
The video also shows people behind the camera demanding the victim’s family transfer a ransom of up to $10 million in exchange for his life.
According to the newspaper, the clip was allegedly sent to Komarov’s family by the kidnappers, along with a threat that parts of the victim’s body had been severed to pressure the family into paying the ransom quickly. However, Indonesian authorities said they are still verifying the authenticity of the video.
On February 26-27, local residents discovered numerous human body parts floating near Ketewel beach and the Wos river mouth in Bali.

The remains, including the head, hands, legs, and torso, were in an advanced state of decomposition. Initially, police made a preliminary identification based on tattoos on the body, before DNA testing confirmed the victim’s identity.
According to Bali police, forensic evidence also showed traces of the victim’s blood found at a villa in the Tabanan area, suspected to be where the kidnappers held Komarov captive.
Indonesian authorities said they have arrested a man suspected of involvement in the case, who is accused of renting the vehicle used in the kidnapping.
The suspect implicated six other foreigners, all of whom are now considered suspects in the serious kidnapping and violence case. Police have requested Interpol to issue international arrest warrants to locate these individuals.
According to the New York Post, his father is reportedly an influential figure in business and criminal circles in Dnipro, and the arrest may be aimed at extortion.
However, Indonesian police said the exact motive for the crime is still under investigation.
Indonesian authorities are continuing to gather evidence, track down suspects, and cooperate with international agencies to clarify the entire incident.
