Russian influencer in Bali has claimed he was kidnapped and robbed of his cryptocurrency holdings by another Russian, the latest in a series of violent incidents involving foreigners on the popular resort island.
Bali Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Ariasandy said the incident occurred on Saturday at around 10:30 p.m. when the victim, identified as Sergei Domogatskii, was riding a motorcycle near Sanur Beach, a well-known tourist area.
“Suddenly, an Alphard car stopped in front of him. Two men wearing black ski masks got out of the car and forced him inside,” Ariasandy said on Tuesday, as quoted by Kompas.com.
According to Sergei’s statement to police, he was taken to a house in the Jimbaran area of South Kuta, where he was allegedly beaten and tased by his abductors. The assailants then forced him to hand over his mobile phone and transfer approximately US$4,600 worth of cryptocurrency to their accounts.
Sergei further claimed that three additional perpetrators arrived later and demanded a ransom of $1 million, which he said he could not pay. He was eventually released several hours later in a field near the Apurva Kempinski Hotel in South Kuta. He sustained injuries to his right arm as a result of the attack.
