Police on the island of Bali have just released more details in the case involving Ukrainian tourist Igor Komarov, and have issued international arrest warrants for seven suspects believed to be involved in the kidnapping that has shocked public opinion.
According to initial investigations, Igor Komarov was abducted on February 15 while riding his motorcycle in the Jimbaran area of Badung district, Bali. Witnesses and collected data suggest that the incident involved multiple people and vehicles, and was quite well-organized.

The group allegedly intercepted Komarov while he was traveling, then forced him into a car and drove him away. The destination was identified as a luxury villa in the Tabanan area, located in the west-central part of Bali.
During the search of the location, authorities discovered numerous bloodstains. Subsequent forensic analysis revealed DNA matching that of Komarov. Additionally, police seized a mobile phone and a bag believed to belong to the victim. This evidence led authorities to believe that Komarov had been held captive at the villa after being kidnapped.
In connection with the case, Indonesian police have identified seven suspects, including one foreigner identified by the initials CH and six others identified by the initials RM, BK, AS, VN, SM, and DH.
According to the investigation, CH was arrested in West Nusa Tenggara and is believed to be the person who rented the vehicle involved in the kidnapping. He used a fake Belgian passport when renting the car. However, authorities believe that CH did not directly participate in the process of restraining the victim.

Police said four suspects left Bali via the island’s international airport, while the others may still be at large in Indonesia. All suspects have been placed on Indonesia’s wanted list, and police have requested Interpol issue a red notice to coordinate an international search.
At the time of the incident, Komarov was traveling in Bali with his girlfriend, Yesa Mishalova, a social media influencer with nearly 200,000 followers on Instagram.
Just one day before the abduction, the couple posted a photo together on Valentine’s Day with the caption: “14 February, love you everyday.” Later, Mishalova posted a short video showing her crying in front of the camera, along with the words: “I will come back when I have the strength.”
Investigators believe the social media posts may have inadvertently revealed the couple’s location, although there is currently no evidence to confirm that the criminal group tracked them through these platforms. Mishalova’s Instagram account has now stopped updating and comments have been disabled.

According to several sources from Russia and Ukraine, Komarov is believed to be the son of Sergei Komarov, a prominent figure in the criminal underworld of Kramatorsk.
The case attracted international attention when a video circulated online showing Komarov appearing with multiple injuries and begging his family to send $10 million in ransom. On February 26, residents discovered several body parts floating near the mouth of the Wos River, in the Ketewel beach area.
According to Senior Police Commissioner Ariasandy of the Bali Police, forensic experts collected six biological samples from body parts, including molars, clavicle, femur fragments, ribs, toe bones, and a portion of the tibia.
Initially, investigators estimated an 80% chance that the body parts belonged to Komarov. However, due to the state of decomposition, identification was difficult, so DNA testing was needed for accurate confirmation.
The samples were then sent to the police forensic laboratory in Jakarta for analysis. Comparison with DNA samples provided by the victim’s family showed a match with Komarov’s mother’s DNA.
“Based on DNA test results, the body parts found match the victim,” said Ariasandy.
