According to information received from 78.ru, Russian crypto trader Roman Novak and his wife Anna were killed in the United Arab Emirates. According to sources from the publication, they were kidnapped for extortion purposes, but the criminals did not receive any money and dealt with the couple. It is known that the suspects, who are citizens of Russia, have already been detained. Anna's parents arrived in Dubai to take their underage children back to their homeland.

As reported by Fontanka, the family had not been in contact with relatives for approximately a month. The publication confirmed the information about the detention of the criminals, but at the moment, the bodies of the deceased have not been found.

The Investigative Committee has initiated a criminal case regarding the disappearance of the spouses, although their names are not mentioned. According to the Investigative Committee of Russia, on October 2, Novak and his wife planned to meet with investors in the city of Hatta. They were driven by a personal driver to a lake, from where they transferred to another car to continue their trip. After that, contact with them was lost.

Roman Novak became known for creating an app for quick cryptocurrency transfers called Fintopio. He was accused of fraud related to the embezzlement of $500 million from investors worldwide. The publication "Fontanka" notes that Novak repeatedly claimed to be friends with Pavel Durov. Additionally, Baza reports that he posed as a member of the board of directors of Telegram and as the deputy vice president of the app, Ilya Perekopsky.
