Spending IDR 10 Million In Ortu Money For Slot Gambling, This Man Makes Hoaxes A Victim Of Robbery

SUKABUMI - Personnel from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Sagaranten Police, Sukabumi arrested a young man with the initials M (28), a resident of Sagaranten District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java who was addicted to slot gambling for making fake news or hoaxes on social media by mentioning that he was a victim of robbery.

"We arrested this young man at his home on Friday, after we received information regarding an upload on Facebook social media belonging to Indi Irfandi's account which showed a young man in a pine plantation, precisely on Jalan Werkip, Puncakmanggis Village, Sagaranten District, Wednesday (6/12) night became a victim of robbery," said Sagaranten Police Chief, AKP Deni Miharja, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, December 8.

According to Deni, he received this information and then his party developed the case by asking for information from several witnesses and the alleged victim, namely M. However, when asked for information, M's statement changed so that investigators from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Sagaranten Police were suspicious.

It turned out that after being urged, M explained that he admitted that he was a victim of robbery was only a drama, for fear of his parents due to the Rp10 million of his parents' money that had been used to play slot gambling.

Therefore, it appeared in the suspect's mind to do drama by pretending to be a victim of robbery which was then uploaded to social media to avoid anger from his parents.

"Although the perpetrator has apologized and admitted that his parents' money was used to play slot gambling, we are still following up on the case by transferring it to the Sukabumi Police for further investigation," he added.
