Investigators mapped the modus operandi of the Head of the Maybank Cipulir Branch with the initials A, which drained almost all of the money belonging to an e-Sport athlete, Winda D Lunardi alias Winda Earl. Suspect A offered to open a futures account and fabricate data.

But Awi did not elaborate on the suspect's colleagues who were involved in the vortex of the case. What is certain is that the police will develop a case investigation with the victim.

"Friends of the suspect make it possible to become a potential suspect, who turns the proceeds of crime," said Awi.

Then Article 3, Article 4 and Article 5 of Law no. 8 of 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering TP.

This case started when an e-sports athlete, Winda D Lunardi alias Winda Earl, reported about the loss of money in two colleagues worth nearly IDR 23 billion. The report is registered with the number LP / B / 0239 / V2020 / Bareskrim dated May 8, 2020.
