Authorities say Russians and Ukrainians are collaborating to form crime rings on Indonesia’s most famous holiday island.

Despite claiming he was tricked, Nazarenko’s involvement and the unique collaboration between war-torn nations raised concerns, as two others received 20-year sentences, and a key mastermind remains at large.
