Overview of the Incident
Maria Kovalchuk, a Ukrainian OnlyFans model, suffered severe injuries under mysterious circumstances in Dubai, detailed by her mother, Anna Kovalchuk. The ordeal reportedly started at a party hosted by affluent Russian youths, where Maria was said to have been held against her will, her personal documents and phone seized.
Details of the Assault
The assault resulted in horrific injuries for Maria. According to her mother, speaking on the Ukrainian TV show "Hovoryt vsia kraina," Maria sustained deep lacerations to her scalp and face, believed to have been inflicted with a knife. Photographic evidence from the hospital revealed these severe injuries, which were not treated prior to her hospital admission but were inflicted elsewhere. Maria was found on a roadside in Dubai, barely alive, suffering from a broken collarbone, lacerations under her armpits, a spine injury, and subsequent paralysis in one leg due to the severity of her injuries.
Response and Actions by Dubai Authorities
Following the incident, the Dubai police detained two individuals identified by Maria. However, they were released the next day without charges. The local authorities hastily closed the case, attributing Maria's injuries to a suicide attempt by jumping from a building, a claim later disputed by a neurosurgeon who suggested that her injuries were consistent with a violent assault or a vehicular impact.
Allegations of Cover-Up
Anna Kovalchuk has accused Dubai authorities of attempting to suppress details of the incident to avoid negative publicity. They allegedly offered to cover all medical expenses for Maria in exchange for her silence. Despite this, the story has attracted significant attention online, raising questions about the integrity of the legal process and the true nature of Maria’s injuries in Dubai.
Current Status
Maria Kovalchuk is currently recuperating in Norway, where she and her mother sought refuge after the traumatic experience in Dubai. The controversy continues to loom over the circumstances leading to her injuries and the judicial outcomes that followed in Dubai.
