The National Police Will Hold Jouska Case, Victim And Priority Investigation Expert

JAKARTA - The Directorate of Special Economic Crimes (Dittipideksus) Bareskrim Polri will conduct a case title related to the alleged money laundering case of PT Jouska Finansial Indonesia. This will be done after examining the victim and the expert.

"Later, when the examination has been fulfilled and the evidence collection has been completed, a case will be conducted," said Head of Public Relations Division of the National Police, Kombes Ahmad Ramadhan, to reporters, Monday, January 18.

For the examination of victims, said Ramadhan, investigators plan to examine five people. They include, DA, Y, AW, SA and DNK. But there was no mention of the examination schedule.

Later, investigators will also ask for information from capital market experts. This examination is carried out to determine whether there is a criminal offense in the case.

"Investigators have conducted interviews with 23 people regarding the alleged fraud under the guise of investment by PT Jouska," he said.

Previously, in handling this case, Bareskrim still recorded the loss of victims from the alleged money laundering case conducted by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of PT Jouska Financial Indonesia, Aakar Abyasa Fidzuno. It is suspected that there are still other victims.

"We are still conducting a deepening of the investigation and declaring whether there are still people who are disadvantaged," said Ramadhan.

This case was initially handled by Polda Metro Jaya. This case was reported by 10 Jouska customers with the number LP / 5.263 / IX / YAN.2.5 / 2020 / SPKT PMJ. However, the handling of this case was delegated to Bareskrim Polri.

Jouska was in the spotlight after several customers claimed that they had suffered investment losses that were allegedly due to fund management that was not in accordance with the agreement.

Jouska was temporarily suspended by the Investment Alert Task Force because he did not have a license as an Investment Advisor and Securities Brokerage Agent.

PT Jouska also collaborates with PT Mahesa Strategis Indonesia and PT Amarta Investa Indonesia in managing customer funds such as investment manager activities.
