Involved In Fictitious Investments, 2 Chinese Citizens Deported

JAKARTA - The Class I Immigration Office of North Jakarta TPI deported two foreign nationals (WNA) from China with the initials ZM and ZY who were previously arrested for being fictitious investors and committing immigration violations.

"The two foreigners were immediately deported to their country of origin because they did not have a sponsor for residence permits," said Head of the Immigration Supervision and Enforcement Section of the Class I Immigration Office of TPI North Jakarta, Widya Anusa Brata, quoted from ANTARA, Wednesday, July 2.

He said this deportation step was taken after the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) confirmed that the company owned by the two foreigners had their license revoked.

"If the company's license doesn't exist then they don't have a sponsor and their residence permit in Indonesia is no longer there," he said.

The two foreigners have been repatriated to the country of origin from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on Thursday (26/6).

"They were also prevented and prevented from entering Indonesia for six months," he said.

Previously, the North Jakarta TPI Class I Immigration Office arrested two foreigners from China with the initials ZM and ZY who became fictitious investors by establishing a company fictitiously and committing immigration violations.

"The two foreigners had the initials ZM and ZY who were arrested in the Penjaringan area, North Jakarta, who were suspected of committing immigration violations," said Head of the Class I Immigration Office of TPI North Jakarta, Rendra Mauliansyah in Jakarta, Thursday (26/6).

The perpetrator ZM is the holder of a Limited Permit (ITAS) for a company investor with the initials PT LSTTI.

This perpetrator admitted that PT LSTTI is his company which is legally registered based on the Decree of the Minister of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia Number AHU-0091884.AH.01.01 of 2024 with an office in the South Jakarta area. However, it is stated that the address is currently located at Penjaringan, North Jakarta.

ZM admitted that PT LSTTI was founded in April 2025. However, it has never operated and has no employees.

ZM also cannot show a number of documents such as the Investment Activity Report (LKPM), the Household Articles of Association (AD/ART) and the balance sheet.

"In LKPM, ZM was recorded to have invested in an Indonesian company of Rp. 10,395,000,000. However, after being arrested, ZM admitted that he only invested Rp. 68 million," he said.

Meanwhile, ZY is an investor with a sponsor of PT DHI and admits that the company belongs to him, located in the Pinangsia area, West Jakarta, which was founded in 2022.

ZY admitted that his company is engaged in the distribution of ice cream from factories in Bekasi and the distribution of steel from China.

However, when asked further, ZY did not know the number of employees on the grounds that they had only come to the office since imported goods entered.

Since January 2025, there has never been any activity or presence of employees to work in the office. From the statements of the suspects, the Tanjung Priok Class I TPI Office conducted a direct examination of the two companies.

From the examination, it was found that PT LSTTI was a "virtual office" registered since November 18, 2024. However, there has never been any employee activity or correspondence on behalf of the company.

Meanwhile, PT DHI in Pinangsia, West Jakarta, was found that the location was a four-story empty shophouse and there were never business activities.

After further checking and coordinating with the Ministry of Investment or BKPM, the two companies, namely PT LSTTI and PT DHI, were declared fictitious companies.

He said the ZM and ZY actors made the fictitious company to get a residence permit in Indonesia easily.

According to him, for this action, ZM and ZY violated Article 123 letter a of Law Number 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration because they had given incorrect information to obtain a residence permit.
