TULUNGAGUNG - Polres Tulungagung, East Java, arrested and detained a state civil servant (ASN) with the initials JJ who served in the Tulungagung Regency Government, a suspect in a fraud case and embezzlement of four rental cars.

"The young ASN who had served in the scope of the Satpol and the household of the Tulungagung Regency pavilion are now being held by the Tulungagung Police Headquarters," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Tulungagung Police, AKP Agung Kurnia Putra, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, June 26.

The case file has been completed and is ready to be submitted to the public prosecutor for further submission to trial.

"Meanwhile, four cases have been reported (to the police regarding fraud and embezzlement of rental cars). Two cases have been investigated and now we are carrying out detention," said Agung Kurnia Putra.

Temporary information circulating, JJ's case is even more. Not only four victims, but more than 10 people.

The mode, said Agung, was that JJ rented a four-wheeled vehicle belonging to the victim under the pretext of being in the name of the local/district government and being used for official purposes.

JJ last served at the Kedungwaru District Office.

"Therefore, we move quickly, when there is a report we carry out security and arrests so that the number of victims does not increase again," said Agung.

His party appealed to the people who were victims of JJ to immediately report to the police.

"Because I am sure and confirm that if the suspect returns the money, it is impossible," he said.

Even to convince the victims, JJ always meets them in the state attorney's room inside the Tulungagung Regency Government building.

"There is actually no work from the Tulungagung Regency Government," said Agung.

His party has clarified to the Tulungagung Regency Government and the Tulungagung Regency Government to deny all JJ's statements.

"The fraud is still alone, but we are still investigating the transfer of the car," he said.

JJ has been carrying out his actions for the last two years.

In addition to detaining JJ, the police have also confiscated a number of evidences, such as cell phones, conversations and car units.

The proceeds from the fraud amounting to Rp500 million are allegedly used to cover his previous responsibilities and spree. JJ is threatened with articles 372 and 378 of the Criminal Code with a penalty of five years in prison.
