CENTRAL LOMBOK - Central Lombok Police Chief, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) AKBP Iwan Hidayat said the police were cooperating with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) in handling the online investment case of Feature E-commerce (FEC).

"The handling of the FEC case will involve PPATK," said AKPB Iwan, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, September 18.

The case has now been handled by the NTB Police, because the victims are not only residents of Central Lombok. In order to facilitate the investigation process, the case was taken over by the NTB Police.

"The FEC victims are almost all over the region, not only in Central Lombok," he said.

The FEC Indonesia Lombok branch office is located in Penujak Village, Central Lombok Regency, NTB. However, the office has now expired, so it is closed or no more activities at the office.

"There are only three victims who report to the Central Lombok Police. We cannot convey the losses yet," he said.

Meanwhile, OJK Nusa Tenggara Barat conveyed a release from the Task Force for Eradicating Illegal Financial Activities (Satgas PAKI) whose information was to revoke the business license of PT FEC Shopping Indonesia (Future E-Commerce/FEC).

FEC is suspected of carrying out activities that are not in accordance with its business license and collecting public funds without a permit.

The PAKI Task Force has analyzed FEC activities and held a member coordination meeting to discuss business licenses and alleged violations of the provisions committed by FEC. FEC is suspected of carrying out electronic trading activities (e-commerce) in which this is not in accordance with its business license.
