Four Suspects Of Making Fake Antigen Swab Letters At Soekarno Hatta Airport, Only Mobile And Printer Capital

TANGERANG – The operation of the four suspected forgers of antigen swab letters at Soekarno-Hatta Airport is simple and practical, and does not require a lot of equipment. The Head of the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police, Commissioner Sigit Sany Setiyono, said that they only work using cellphones.

"The suspect made a certificate of false antigen swab negative results using a cellphone", said Sigit.

Although relatively simple, the four suspects, namely MSF, S, HF, and AR, have different roles. Sigit said, four Avsec officers shared roles to connect operators and potential victims.

"HF, acted as an intermediary between suspect S, and provided data for prospective passengers who ordered fake antigen letters to suspect AR", he said.

After receiving data from its customers, MSF made a false negative result for the Antigen Swab using a cellphone.

"The role is to make a false antigen swab negative result certificate using a cellphone", he added.

In addition to securing the four suspects, the police also confiscated a number of evidences in the form of cellphones, printer machines, ID cards and others.

It was previously reported that the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police had dismantled a network of makers of false antibody swab negative results. These four perpetrators are Avsec officers who have now been expelled because of this forgery case.

Sigit said, the actions of the four suspects were dismantled on Wednesday, February 23, 2022 at Terminal 3 of Soekarno Hatta Airport. They have been in this illegal business for five months, each letter is valued at 200-300 thousand.

"It's been 5 months, even in February there are hundreds of letters that have been produced", he explained.
