Allegations Of Security System Error Arising In Bank DKI ATM Robbery

JAKARTA - The police are developing the handling of DKI Bank ATM burglary cases which cost tens of billions. Based on the management's examination, there were allegations of system errors that resulted in the bank breaking.

Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus, said that the DKI bank management was still verifying this, although they had avoided an error in its security system.

"They are still verifying what errors occurred in the system," said Yusri in Jakarta, Friday, November 22.

The alleged error in this system is due to a confession from the perpetrator of the burglary. They said that even when withdrawing money with a nominal amount, the balance in the savings only decreased by IDR 4,000. That's why, they make repeated withdrawals. From there, the information is spread and other actors emerge.

Even so, the police have not yet come to a conclusion that there are allegations of an insider's connection to this burglary. "Everything is still being investigated. Investigated everything, either DKI Bank people or witnesses," said Yusri.

During the ongoing investigation, 29 additional suspects were identified. Previously, there were 12 perpetrators from the members of the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP), now there are 41 people. Of the dozens, only 25 were summoned to be questioned.

With the increase in the number of suspected perpetrators, DKI Bank's losses will automatically increase. It is recorded that the current loss has reached Rp. 50 billion.

"The results of the existing audit said that almost around Rp. 50 billion (loss)," concluded Yusri.
