Meanwhile, Article 93 of the Health Quarantine Law states that anyone who does not comply with the implementation of health quarantine and/or hinders the implementation of health quarantine so as to cause a public health emergency shall be subject to a maximum imprisonment of 1 year and/or a maximum fine of Rp. 100 million.
Wiku confirms that the legal process against Rachel is ongoing. "The task force upholds the application of applicable rules and enforces discipline to protect the safety of the community," said Wiku.
"To all international travelers, we ask you to obey the rules that have been set. Do not violate them because they will be subject to strict sanctions," he continued.
As is known, the news of Rachel Vennya escaping from quarantine that has been circulating on social media for the past few days has finally been revealed. Apparently, Rachel Vennya was proven to have run away while still undergoing quarantine at the Pademangan Athlete's Guesthouse after returning from the United States.
Initially, this news circulated after an Instagram account named @_melatiintaan wrote a comment about the celebrity. This account claims to be one of the data input officers at Wisma Atlet Kemayoran.
According to him, Rachel was required to undergo quarantine for eight days but it turned out that Rachel only ran for three days.
"Ohhh, he was supposed to be quarantined at the Athlete House for 8 days, eh. But he just ran away for 3 days???" wrote @_melatiintaan on October 8, 2021.
Until finally the authorities opened their voices. In his written statement yesterday, the Head of the Jaya Pendam, Colonel Arh Herwin Budi Saputra, revealed the fact that Rachel Vennya was able to escape from Wisma Atlet because she was assisted by TNI personnel.
"It was found that there were allegations of non-procedural actions by members of the Soetta Airport Security (TNI) initials An.FS who had arranged for the Rachel Vennya program to avoid quarantine procedures that must be passed after traveling from abroad," said Herwin.
