Roman and Anna Novak vanished after driving out to meet a group of “unidentified investors.”
Hours later, reports surfaced: they’d been kidnapped — and the captors were demanding a massive ransom.
But the ransom was never paid.
Now, Russian authorities have detained three suspects: former police officer Konstantin Shakht, along with Yury Sharypov and Vladimir Dalekin.
According to the head of the Russian Investigative Committee, “The killers had accomplices who helped organise the abduction.”
What started as a secret business meeting spiraled into a chilling crime — one that’s shaken even veteran investigators.
Money. Power. Betrayal.
And a deal that turned deadly.
