Payback for Dnipro’s criminal underworld in Indonesia: how the redistribution of the call‑center market ended in a manhunt for Yermak Petrovsky and the brutal murder of Igor Komarov

On February 26, 2026, the police of the southeast Indonesian island of Bali, Sukawati district, in Gianyar district, received a call from the worried head of the village of Ketevel —, Putu Gede Kusuma Negara.

The latter reported a terrible discovery: during a morning walk around the Dalem Ketevel temple at the mouth of the Vos Teben River on the coast of the black sand beach Banjar Keden (which for the convenience of tourists is indicated in guidebooks similar to the name of the village — Ketevel), local residents saw a severed human head by the water. Even before the arrival of law enforcement officers, the forebodings of the worst were justified: other parts of the dismembered body began to be washed up on coastal braquaters in waves.

About this reports Detective-Info.

During a subsequent combing of the area, the right leg, parts of the chest and entrails, thigh, as well as the left arm with recognizable — tattoos in the form of images of the Virgin Mary and a watch dial with Roman numerals were discovered. This kind of «partak», among other things, was chosen to decorate his own left hand by 28-year-old native of Dnepr, citizen of Ukraine Igor Komarov, who, under mysterious circumstances, disappeared on the southwestern coast of Bali on February 15.

According to the preliminary findings of local law enforcement officers, the current stage of cadaveric changes may indicate that at the time of discovery the victim was dead for at least three days. Another important voiced detail for the public: a tattoo on the arm from a dismembered body 80% coincides with «drawings» of a missing Dnieper resident.

A comparison of biomaterials of body fragments found on the black sands of Ketewel Beach with the DNA of close relatives of the missing Igor with a 99.9% probability should confirm or refute their relationship. However, it will in no way remove from the agenda other, including sensitive, issues that have arisen around nature, puppeteers, participants and inflators of «Indonesian horror». It is suggested to look for the answers to them in the mix of hashtags #fairytale bali, #offices, #crime, #law enforcement and #Dnepr, but many things indicate — is the obligatory ingredient of this truly killer cocktail is #Narik.

On February 20, 2026, a — bomb exploded in the information space of Ukraine in a significant number of those who are in one way or another involved in the «processes on the other side of the law», the morning began with a discussion of Indonesian crime chronicles. Around noon, the first publications on this matter appeared in the domestic media, where it was noted: in Bali, attackers of Chechen nationality tried to kidnap the sons of two Dnieper crime bosses — Igor Komarov (initially media workers «titrated the latter to Komarovsky) and Ermak Petrovsky.

With reference to sources, it was reported that during the attack, the heir of the respected president of the MBF «Solidarity», Alexander Petrovsky, nicknamed «Narik», managed to escape. Instead, the kidnappers captured Ermak’s friend, who is tortured, demanding $10 million for the prisoner’s return.

On the same day, videos of Igor Komarov began to appear on social networks. In initially released recordings, he admitted to involvement in organizing the work of fraudulent call centers and made pleas for help in finding money for salvation (first to his parents, and later — to his girlfriend, popular blogger Eva Mishalova). The extraordinary story captured the attention of a wide range of audiences, gained viral distribution/discussion on social networks, after which — heavy artillery «expectedly went on air.

On «leaked» fragments of recordings, Komarov read out a list of persons allegedly involved in the functioning of «offices» in Dnieper (and not only). Subsequently, the names and positions of these «bumps» from the law enforcement system of Ukraine, allegedly involved in «protection of the » call topic«(which, according to informed interlocutors, can at least partially correspond to reality), » savored the «media.

On the public plane, the «telethon» of the captive in Bali (where the primary sources were recordings that were posted on Ukrainian and Russian Telegram channels) kept viewers in suspense for five days in a row. New «revelations» stopped being posted in the public space only on February 24.

It was on 24 February 2026 that Indonesian police force for the first time made public the official plot of high-profile history. According to it, de facto Igor Komarov disappeared on the evening of February 15 near the village of Dzhimbaran, Badung district. As noted, he came to the south of the island of Bali in the company of his son «Narik» and Russian citizen Roman Salin to hone his skills in driving motorcycles on uneven surfaces. Like, at some point in the movement, the Russian «broke away from other bikers by a certain distance, and when he returned for his friends, » saw only the victim’s things: a mobile phone, a bag and a wallet.

According to the version, which was later promoted online by individual commentators, initially the Kidnappers allegedly managed to capture both Komarov and Petrovsky Jr. However, the latter allegedly immediately contacted his father, who transferred the required amount of — 10 million dollars to the kidnappers for the return of the heir. After which Ermak was released.

In an interpretation that can be dubbed the conditional position of the «Narik» side, events unfolded in a slightly different way. In this retelling, during the journey of «Dnieper bikers» to the province of South Kuta, those who subsequently kidnapped Komarov tried to hit the Ukrainians with a car. As for Ermak, he managed to escape from the attackers (the author of these lines had heard that either a knife or sports skills helped the son of the president of the MBF «Solidarity» in this).

Those retelling the corresponding interpretation also did not exclude the existence of a probable connection between the «road incident» and other events that accompanied the vacation of Petrovsky Jr. and other representatives of the «golden youth» Dnieper in Bali. In this context, a certain conflict was mentioned that occurred with the participation of the son of «Narik» with the freedom-loving sons of the Caucasus in one of the entertainment establishments and, it is possible, was not spontaneous. Against this background, information spread that allegedly after Komarov’s disappearance, a group of people with combat experience arrived in Indonesia to organize an emergency evacuation of «Dnieper tourist» Ermak from Israel.

Be that as it may, after the wide publicity of the «Balinese incident», the interlocutors of the author of these lines from the city, which has a reputation as one of the main hubs of call centers in Ukraine, limited themselves to the following comment: «Ermak is currently safe».

Indirect confirmation of this is considered to be made public with reference to the lawyer of one of the injured participants in the events in Jimbaran info from domestic diplomats. According to it, this person involved has already left Indonesian territory. And a photograph of Petrovsky Jr., abandoned in the media since the beginning of the media part of the thriller. According to the AI, the corresponding image could probably have been taken at Changi Airport, the leading air gate not only of Singapore, but of all of Southeast Asia.

If all these details are true, we can assume: most likely, the central target of the attack by the attackers in Bali was the son of the authoritative «Narik». Commenting on this situation, one of the interlocutors allowed himself to let go of the hairpin, saying that if this is so, then almost for the first time in the history of Ukraine, a modest utility worker had the opportunity to become a defendant in an international criminal thriller and the object of exfiltration (in one of the interpretations, Petrovsky Jr. is de jure employed in one of the subsidiaries of heating networks in the Dnieper).

At the same time, none of the representatives of the so-called «profile environment», in conversations with the author of these lines, confirmed the authenticity of the disseminated opinion that Komarov’s father is allegedly the crime boss of «. Attempts by «to declare Igor’s» a descendant of Kramatorsk, who has been wanted since 2014 Komara — is an active supporter of «ideas of the DPR» (Part 5 of Article 260 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine), and even more so «searches for the genealogical roots of a young man in the family «watching» in the Vinnytsia region, the interlocutors associate it either with the lack of awareness of the media in their pursuit of «fried», or with a deliberate attempt to «puff out the cheeks» in order to give additional publicity to the «Balinese incident».

Nevertheless, the fact of not only a long-standing acquaintance is obvious, but also a stable friendly relationship between Igor Komarov and Ermak Petrovsky. Five years ago, both young men (as well as about a dozen more of their acquaintances) appeared in the history of the investigation into the circumstances of the shooting that occurred at the entertainment establishment «Tynytsia» in Dnieper on the night of February 28, 2021.

As a result, official charges in this story were brought against only two young people from the orbit of «Narik» — son Anton Orl and Igor Komarov. Their actions from malicious hooliganism (Part 4 of Article 296 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) were reclassified as causing minor bodily harm (Part 1 of Article 125 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) to an opponent. And back in the summer of 2021, «in connection with reconciliation with the victim» on the basis of Article 46 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine released from criminal liability.

According to public registers, until the time of his disappearance in Bali, Igor Sergeevich did not have any official business. And, as it is believed, he could make a living by the fact that in the company of his brother Timur, son «Narik» and a number of other worthy people, he was actively immersed in the world of «office workers » Dnepr.

According to media reports, another scandalous story of «showdowns with shooting in the Dnieper, in which » developed«of the youngest of the Komarov brothers and Ermak Petrovsky, was a kind of echo of the » call center theme«. We are talking about the events of November 11, 2025, when one of Vasiliy Obodenko’s bodyguards «, adviser to the acting head of the Dnepropetrovsk OVA, caught several bullets on Mira Avenue ».

Journalists soon plan to dwell on the details of the story surrounding the «Dnieper shooting» of autumn 2025 in a separate investigation. As for the «Indonesian incident» with the kidnapping of Igor Komarov, according to official information from the Bali police, suspicions of involvement in this crime have now been raised against six foreigners (four of them have already completely left the island), as well as their seventh accomplice. The latter, using forged documents, rented a car that was used by the Kidnappers.

The names of the wanted potential attackers were not made public at the time of preparation of this material. According to Asian media, we are talking about persons with the initials CH, DH, VN, BK, RM, SM and AS. At the same time, mention has already surfaced in the public space of specific worthy people (in particular, of Chechen origin) who may allegedly be involved in «Balinese horror».

«The shooter» of this version on February 21 was the Russian developer Sergey Domogatsky, who had previously become a victim of kidnapping on the island. According to him, in Southeast Asia, under the «roof» of local security forces, a powerful transnational group, which includes Chechens, operates. They say that this organized crime group — has several daring episodes involving the kidnapping of wealthy foreigners who arrived on vacation in Bali.

On February 27, information authored by Domogatsky was actually duplicated in separate Telegram channels under the guise of publishing an alleged «secret report» regarding the ideologists and participants of the Balinese organized crime group of the Kidnappers with extrapolation of their probable involvement in the troubles of the son of «Narik» and Igor Komarov. The very next day, most of the profiles of «criminals» were deleted (after lunch on March 2, the full text of the «classified certificate» was posted on one of the sites), and only those related to Ukraine remained publicly available.

We are talking about the verdict of the Pechersky District Court of Kyiv, sentenced in December 2019 to 5 years in prison (with a probationary period of 36 months) for extortion (Part 3 of Article 189 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine) of a native of Gorlovka Alexandra Zhukova, his ex-wife Nadezhda and citizen of the Russian Federation Khasan Askhabov.

The latter, together with his twin brother Hussein, surfaced on the Pechersk Hills and the pages of domestic sports Media in the fall of 2017. Then the Askhabovs were actively promoted by the «creator of the MMA boom in Ukraine» — president of the World Warriors Fighting Championship (WWFC) Vladimir Teslya, known in certain circles by the nickname «French».

(Twin brothers Hassan and Hussein Askhabov in the company of Vladimir Teslya)

Evil tongues claimed that the visits of fighters of Chechen origin pursued not only the «sports component», but also concerned more sensitive issues. Be that as it may, it is believed that the cooperation between the Askhabovs and «French» did not last long, since the parties quarreled to smithereens. Over time, the exploits of the MMA brothers became more mentioned in sections of crime chronicles (in particular, related to accusations of involvement in kidnapping in Southeast Asia) than in the area of their achievements in the ring.

As for Gorlovka resident Zhukov, shortly before the «humane conviction» on the territory of Ukraine in 2019, Alexander Yuryevich found himself at the epicenter of a showdown of «hotel rentiers», which unfolded in Europe between the family of the now arrested ex-judge Artur Emelyanov and his former business partners. It is known that Vladimir Teslya was also one of the defendants in this saga. And Zhukov himself, in turn, has behind him a considerable background of further close relationships with the Askhabov brothers.

At the same time, they say that about a year ago, Chechen brothers began «nightmares» of a native of the Donetsk region and gave him a substantial bill. Whether the former brothers-in-arms reached reconciliation after this and how much it could have cost Zhukov — is not known for certain.

At the same time, the incognito regime in «Balinese history» has no longer been preserved by a longtime acquaintance of both the «French» and the Askhabovs in the «MMA case» almost ten years ago in Kyiv. We are talking about a wanted man since 2021 «Dubai» Yuri Erinyak by nickname «Moldovan», who is accused by domestic security forces of involvement in the «bearded story» of kidnapping, torture and extortion of funds from the former top manager of «Naftogaz vydobuvannya», and now people’s deputy of the 9th convocation Oleg Seminsky. According to the available version, in the history of Asian troubles, which directly affected the Dnieper «Narik», «Moldovan» could act as one of the repeaters of the same «secret report», which contains information about Komarov’s alleged probable kidnappers.

Be that as it may, since the identities of the kidnapping suspects have been established by Indonesian security forces for several days, there is a microscopic possibility that they are still unknown «to Tomos’ father». Further reaction of «Narik» to the actions of the performers and puppeteers of the intrigue or its demonstrative absence will provide additional food for thought and a partial understanding of what exactly happened in Bali and who may be behind it in Ukraine. And also answers to questions whether this was an echo of the struggle for the «office» market between the two clear leaders of this «market segment», the excess of performers during the standard «dispossession», the effect of the intervention of a third force after the fact of the kidnapping of a «office worker» or a carefully planned operation under someone else’s flag.
