Samarinda Police arrested a man who is strongly suspected of being involved in the fraud case of selling Sheila on 7 concert tickets with a value of hundreds of millions of rupiah."The suspect, who is a resident of Samarinda, was arrested on Friday night after being reported by a number of victims," said Samarinda Police Chief Kombes Ary Fadli during a press conference at the Samarinda Police Headquarters, East Kalimantan, as reported by Antara, Friday, July 26.The modus operandi of the perpetrators is to offer concert tickets online. In fact, the organizing committee has announced that ticket sales are only officially done through a special website or email."This perpetrator is not affiliated with the concert organizing committee," said Ary.He did not mention the initials of the perpetrators because they are still under investigation. Until now, the police are still investigating the exact number of victims and the total loss suffered because the police are still calculating the amount of losses suffered by the victims."However, based on the initial information we received, the value of the loss reached hundreds of millions of rupiah," he said.Ary appealed to the public to be more careful in buying concert tickets.He asked the public to always make sure to buy tickets through the official channel that has been determined by the organizing committee."Don't be easily tempted by cheap ticket offers outside the official route," he said.The Samarinda Police continue to try to solve this case thoroughly.
The perpetrator will be charged with fraud and/or embezzlement as stated in Article 374 of the Criminal Code with a maximum sentence of years.
