Central Java Police arrested perpetrators of online fraud and allegations of misuse of credit in one of the state-owned enterprises in the financing sector with a loss of Rp. 1 billion.

Director of the Special Criminal Investigation of the Central Java Police, Kombes Dwi Subagio, said that the disclosure of the case began with the victim's report in May 2023.

He explained that one of the victims who ordered cosmetics online reported to the police because the ordered goods did not come even though they had been paid in full.

"Then the investigators followed up, it was revealed that there were quite a lot of victims," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, September 7.

Investigators then arrested the female perpetrator with the initials TDR (24) from Cilacap Regency.

From the results of the examination, he said, the perpetrators in their actions monitored Facebook's social media selling various products online.

"When there was a potential buyer who commented on the Facebook upload, the perpetrator immediately answered as if he was the seller," he said.

He said the total loss of the 30 victims of online fraud reached Rp250 million.

The perpetrator's mode, according to him, is to apply for a loan using someone else's identity card.

"The loan money was not handed over to the identity owner who applied for the loan, but was enjoyed by the perpetrators themselves," he said.

Currently, he said, investigators are still developing the possibility of other actors and criminal elements in this case.

The perpetrator was charged with Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning information and electronic transactions
