TANJUNGPINANG - Bintan Police, Riau Islands (Kepri), arrested a male suspect with the initials S (46) who was suspected of committing a criminal act of embezzlement of company money worth Rp. 8 billion.

"Yes, that's right, we arrested the suspect because he was suspected of harming PT. CCI Bintan's company of around Rp. 8 billion," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Bintan Police, AKP Marganda Pandapitan, quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, June 19.

The investigation of the case began with the report of victim Husnul Khotimah as HR Manager of PT. CCI Bintan against suspect S, because he had falsified a fictitious order of goods. The suspect is an employee at the company.

Suspect S made a report on the order of supporting materials from the department store to the production department throughout 2021-2022 at a total cost of approximately Rp. 8 billion.

"In fact, there are actually no orders for these goods in 2021 and 2022, so the suspect is suspected of embezzling company-owned money," explained AKP Marganda.

After receiving the victim's report, the Bintan Police Satreskrim immediately conducted an investigation and received information on the whereabouts of suspect S in Batam City.

Furthermore, several personnel from the Bintan Police Satreskrim immediately pursued the suspect S.

"The suspect was arrested at a garden house located on Trans Barelang Street, Galang District, Batam, Thursday (13/6)," said AKP Marganda.
