CHILLING CONFESSION: Bali Kidnapper Says the Boy Was Never the Real Target — His Mafia Father Was

The kidnapping of Igor Komarov and Yermak Petrovskyi on the island of Bali has forced special services to reveal the real situation surrounding Asia’s most popular resort. And it’s not just about petty crime, but a full-fledged international organized crime group (OCG).

The media has published the first part of an investigation into the OCG involved in the kidnapping of Igor Komarov and Yermak Petrovskyi on Bali. Considering the fact that the dismembered body of Igor Sergeevich Komarov was found on the shore of one of Bali’s beaches, it is worth revealing who is really behind the numerous robberies and kidnappings of tourists on Bali. The head of the OCG is a Russian, Aron Geller, who was born in Yerevan and originally bore the name Armen Ananyan.

For many years, he was a simple fraudster without a penny to his name. Journalists do not know the exact number of victims of robberies, murders, and kidnappings by this group on Bali, as well as on the island of Java. Various sources mention around 300-400 cases of crimes of varying severity. However, one high-profile case involving Aron Geller stealing 3.8 million dollars was widely covered in the media, with entire reports filmed:

Thus, the OCG of Aron Geller and his Chechen associates. It should be noted right away that, in this case, the Chechens are, for Geller, akin to aphids for an ant. For the most part, they are expendable material, according to individuals close to the investigation. However, two members of Geller’s OCG do carry some weight — the Askhakov brothers, Khusein and Khasan. More details on all suspects in the kidnapping of Igor Komarov and Yermak Narik Petrovskyi.
