One of the Russian women who posed naked for a photo on the balcony of a hotel in Dubai is the daughter of a Russian oligarch, Mash Telegram channel said.

According to the publication, the photos depicting more than ten young women posing naked in Dubai Marina hotel appeared on social media on April 3. The pictures sparked public outrage, and the police detained the participants of the photo session the same day.

The daughter of a millionaire and former banker of Russia's National Corporate Bank was said to be one of the 40 detainees. In addition to her, law enforcement officers detained seven Russian women, as well as citizens of Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus.

The women may face a fine of 5,000 dirhams (about $1,360) and a prison term of up to six months.
