As previously reported, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit for the Soekarno-Hatta Airport Police Commissioner Alexander Yurikho said that no official report had yet been received by the police regarding the alleged harassment and extortion. But this case will still be investigated.

"Those who feel that they are suspected victims of a criminal act have not made an official report to the Soetta Airport Police. The initial investigation process is being carried out by investigators from the Soetta Airport Police Criminal Unit," Alexander said confirmed by VOI.

The allegation of blackmail and sexual harassment first emerged after being shared via the Twitter account @listongs. Starting with the rapid test, the victim claimed to have 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.

"After that the doctor asked," Are you going to fly or not? " there I was confused right, hah, how come I asked him like this ... then I answered "is it possible, sir? Right as far as I know, if it's reactive, I can't continue traveling". After that the doctor said "yes, I can change the data later," tweeted @listongs.

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.
