JAKARTA - The Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs succeeded in repatriating the bodies of Indonesian citizens (WNI) who had been adrift in Cambodia and handed over to their families.
The body, on behalf of Nathasya Cindy Lea Antou, the Indonesian citizen / PMI of the Online Scam Sector, was repatriated thanks to the efforts of the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Indonesian Embassy in Phnom Penh.
The Indonesian Embassy in Phnom Penh received information leaving an Indonesian citizen on behalf of Nathasya Cindy Lea Antou on April 10, 2025. Based on the information, he died from the Pneumonia Severe.
Following up on this, the Indonesian Embassy in Phnom Penh immediately acted to handle Nathasya's body, quoted from a statement from the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Monday, May 26.
Previously, funds for the repatriation of Nathasya's body had been collected, including those from the company and donations from colleagues of the deceased. The funds were handed over to Nathasya's lover for further processing.
However, the funds were not paid to the repatriation service provider in Cambodia. As a result, the process of repatriating Nathasya's body had been adrift for a while.
After arriving at Sam Ratulangi Airport, Manado on May 26, 2025 at 06:15 WITA, the body was immediately taken to the funeral home which is 30 minutes from the airport, accompanied by representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and BP3MI North Sulawesi.
Representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially handed over the body to the family, witnessed by related elements, such as BP3MI North Sulawesi and village officials.
On this occasion, the Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed his condolences and explained the steps that had been taken with the Indonesian Embassy in Phnom Penh regarding the handling of Nathasya's body.
Representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also encouraged the family to be able to report the lover of the late Nathasya to the authorities for alleged acts of misuse of donations for repatriation.
