SURABAYA - The East Java Regional Police handed over a suspect in a fraudulent investment case with a victim of dozens of Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) in Hong Kong named Setiyo Rini along with evidence or Phase II to the Malang District Attorney.

"Today, Sub-Directorate V of the East Java Police Ditreskrimsus handed over the suspect Setiyo Rini in connection with a fraudulent investment case with dozens of PMI victims who worked in Hong Kong," said Head of Sub-Directorate V Cyber Crime of the East Java Police Ditreskrimsus AKBP Hendri Novere Santoso as reported by ANTARA, Monday, July 10.

AKBP Hendri explained that the second stage was because the investigation level examination was complete, both formally and materially.

In May 2023, the East Java Regional Police released the results of the disclosure of a fraudulent investment case with the suspect Setiyo Rini and the victim 250 PMI.

The suspect is a resident of Lumajang, East Java who is also the owner of a trading company called Arfa Forex Trading. This company was founded in 2018.

From the fraudulent investment results, Setiyo Rini made a profit of up to IDR 3.4 billion.

Ditreskrimsus Polda Jatim Kombes Farman mengatakan bahwa tersangka merupakan mantan TKI. Tersangka menjanjikan korban keuntungan 1520 persen. Profit dapat diambil 15 minggu setelah disetor ke perusahaantrading-nya.

The victim, who was tempted by Setiyo's promise, then transferred money from Rp. 500 thousand to Rp. 57 million. However, the profits that were promised never materialized.

"The perpetrator shared this trading (Arfa Forex Trading) to Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. So, the victim is not only a friend of his own, but another PMI," he said.
