Ukrainian police have opened a case into human trafficking over an OnlyFans model found seriously injured in Dubai after being missing for more than a week.
Maria Kovalchuk, 20, was diagnosed with a broken spine and limbs in hospital after she was discovered on a roadside. Friends expressed fears the Ukrainian model had been kidnapped into sexual slavery before being dumped, battered and bloodied, by her attackers.
Dubai police said her injuries were the result of a fall from a height on a construction site. The model is in hospital in Dubai and her life is no longer in danger.

She underwent several operations after she was found in a critical condition without her passport, but is now “stable”, according to her doctors. Police in Ukraine said they had opened a human trafficking case on Saturday.
The article of the criminal code provides punishment for human trafficking, as well as recruiting, moving or hiding the victim for the purpose of exploiting them. A “pre-trial investigation” is underway, and no further details of the case – launched by the main investigation department of Ukraine’s national police in Lviv region – have been given.
No suspects were named. The case comes after the involvement of Ukraine’s consul in Dubai, Oleksiy Lyashenko, who helped locate the missing woman.
“The consulate of Ukraine in Dubai said that Maria’s mother asked them to find her daughter,” said Hromadske media outlet. “The staff of the consulate found the girl in one of the city’s medical institutions.”
Maria’s mother Anna, who flew from Norway to be with her, said that Maria is expected to recover from her horrific injuries. “She is getting medical treatment and everything will be all right,” she said.

“We are still getting treatment.” Media reports say that Maria had told her mother that she was staying with two men and was canceling a planned trip to Thailand on March 11.
She was described as being with two men who “who introduced themselves as representatives of the modelling business”. A concern was that she had attended a so-called Porta Potty event at which female social influencers can be paid huge sums to be subjected to extreme and degrading abuse, fulfilling the bestial desires of wealthy men.
Russian lawyer Katya Gordon said: “Model Maria Kovalchuk was found dying on the side of the road in the UAE after a party with Arab sheikhs. She is currently in critical condition in hospital.
“The scandal with the Porta Potty parties has been raging…for over a year.” Anna said earlier of her daughter’s disappearance: “There is an assumption that she went to a party. But the promoter who organised these parties did not see her.
“Maria was [eventually] found in hospital in serious condition. She has no documents, no phone, nothing. She underwent three [now four] operations. And she cannot speak.”
Several reports have said her friends and family dispute the official version that she was alone on a construction site and fell. Russian model Angelina Doroshenkova, 31, her friend, said: “We all hope for the best and are very grateful to everyone who took part in the search and helped with information.”
