Bareskrim Will Check Grab Toko Commissioner

JAKARTA - The National Police's Criminal Investigation Directorate plans to examine Grab Toko Commissioner, Anak Agung Narendra. This examination is related to the alleged fraud and money laundering of the PT Grab Toko buying and selling site.

"So we are planning to summon (Commissioner of Grab Toko) but it is being negotiated first," said the Director of Cyber Crime at the National Criminal Investigation Police Brigadier General Slamet Uliandi to reporters, Wednesday, January 20.

In addition, investigators will also examine several banks. This examination was carried out in relation to the account belonging to the suspect, Yudha Manggala Putra.

"Yes, we have called all of them, from BNI, BRI, BCA and Mandiri, so everyone will be summoned," he said.

But not yet informed about the schedule for the inspection summons. Currently only BCA representatives who confirm will be present to provide information.

"Only BCA plans to come (examination)," continued Slamet.

Bareskrim Polri opens the possibility of a new suspect in the Grab Toko case. Investigators are still investigating witness statements and instructions.

"Until now, investigators are investigating evidence and examining witnesses, including the possibility of new suspects being investigated," said Head of Public Relations Division of the National Police, Kombes Ahmad Ramadhan, to reporters, Tuesday, January 19.

In this case, investigators named the owner of Grab Toko, Yudha Manggala Putra as a suspect. He is suspected of embezzling Rp17 billion in consumer money.

Yudha's mode of crime was by creating an online shopping website. The site lists various electronic goods at low prices so as to attract potential buyers.

But when a prospective buyer orders goods, the majority of buyers never receive the item they want. So, those who feel cheated report it. The report is registered under the number LP / B / 0019 / I / 2021 / Bareskrim.

In this case, Yudha was charged with Article 45 Paragraph 1 in conjunction with Article 28 Paragraph 1 of Law 19/2016 on Electronic Information and Transactions.
