Investigators Failed To Present The Suspect Of Draining Maybank Customer Funds Of Rp.22.8 Billion

JAKARTA - Investigators at the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes, Bareskrim Polri, failed to present the Head of the Maybank Cipulir Branch initials AT, the suspect in the case of breaking into accounts belonging to e-Sports athlete Winda Earl.

The failure of investigators to present AT was not due to rejection. But AT who is also a suspect in a similar case is undergoing trial at the Tangerang District Court.

"Bareskrim in the framework of this examination must have the permission of the head of the Tangerang District Court because currently the person concerned is in the process of hearing the previous case at Polda Metro Jaya," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Awi Setiyono, to reporters, Thursday, November 12.

In the future, investigators said Awi, will coordinate with the Tangerang District Court. So that the examination schedule does not coincide with the trial schedule.

"Hopefully next week we will have permission from the head of the PN to be able to examine the suspect because we think there are still developments," he said.

Although he did not specify what investigators would ask officials of the Maybank Cipulir Branch, Awi said the suspects would like to investigate a lot.

"There are many lists that need to be asked again because it is growing," he said.

In this case, the Police Criminal Investigation Unit named the Head of the Maybank Cipulir Branch with the initials AT as a suspect. He committed the crime by offering victims to open futures accounts and falsifying data.

To smooth the action, the Head of the Maybank Cipulir Branch seduced the victim with a high interest rate of 10 percent if he wanted to open a term account. Even though there is no interest rate for the term savings as promised.

The suspect charged under Article 49 Paragraph (1) and Paragraph (2) of Law Number 10 of 1998 concerning Amendments to Law Number 7 of 1992 concerning Banking. Then Article 3, Article 4 and Article 5 of Law no. 8 of 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of the Crime of Money Laundering.
