JAKARTA - Eko Firstson YS alias EFY, a medical officer of PT Kimia Farma who was a suspect in the rapid test fraud case at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, was not found. He disappeared when he was about to be arrested after being named a suspect in this case.

"That's right (disappeared when he was about to be arrested)," said the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit for the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police, Kompol Alexander Yurikho to VOI, Thursday, September 24.

It is not known since when Eko disappeared. Alex said the police were still looking for information on his whereabouts.

"We continue to look for those concerned," he said.

Previously, Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus said that Eko was charged with fraud because the suspect tricked the victim by convincing him if he could change the results of the rapid test as long as he was given a certain amount of money.

"Individual health workers during the rapid test, which we suspect here in Article 378 is about fraud," said Yusri.

Meanwhile, for the alleged harassment, Yusri said investigators had not applied the criminal charges. This is because there is not enough evidence to apply the criminal charges of Article 294 of the Criminal Code to the suspect.

"The CCTV that we got at that time was true that at that time the two of us were in close condition. We are still studying the testimonies of the witnesses," he said.

"If we are there we will be caught in Article 294 of the Criminal Code," continued Yusri.

The allegation of blackmail and sexual harassment first emerged after being shared via the Twitter account @listongs. Starting with the rapid test, the victim admitted that he met an officer with the initials EFY at Soekarno-Hatta Airport on Sunday, September 13. The victim was about to fly to Nias, North Sumatra.

In its thread, @listongs said that EFY offers convenience for administering rapid tests. EFY called the victim also claimed to be able to replace the data from the rapid test results even though @listongs was sure the results of the rapid test being undertaken would be inactive.

Finally, the victim received the rapid test result letter and went straight to the check-in counter at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. However, according to the victim, the rapid test officer continued to follow him and asked him to chat in a quiet place.

There, EFY officers according to @listongs asked for additional money beyond the official rapid test fee. The victim asks the nominal officer the officer means. However, when the victim mentioned the figure of Rp1 million, the officer asked for an additional.

Until finally @listongs gave Rp1.4 million. @listongs includes proof of transfer in the thread.

But after that, officers according to @listongs committed sexual harassment. He tried to kiss the victim and feel the victim's breast. The victim was in deep shock by the abuse she received.
