JAKARTA - Sahlan Nasution (36) a suspect in the burglary of company money through a Shopee account admitted that he was hurt by being fired from his job as an expedition to the scanner section. The Makassar Police Chief, Kompol Sumardi, confirmed that Sahlan's motive for the theft was because he was hurt by being fired.

"It looks like (it hurts). The motive is just trying to get money," Kompol Sumardi told reporters, Wednesday, June 11.

The burglary began when Sahlan had access to Gmail for his company's Shopee online store. In the email there is also a Shopee Seller account with the name 'Pro Seller' owned by MR MOTO SHOP58.

Because he has this access, Sahlan tries to change all important data such as the Shopee account mobile number and replace the company's account with his account. So that the money from the sale can be disbursed into Sahlan's personal account.

Furthermore, according to the testimony of the reporting witness who is an admin of Shopee Pro Seller, he detected an attempt to change his suspicious cellphone number with the Realme device RMX2163.

The witness did not suspect that the attempted burglary of the Shopee Pro Seller account could be changed from a different cellphone number.

"The suspect changed the account number of the Pro-Seller Shopee account in his name," said the witness.

Sahlan is known to have disbursed money 4 times with a total of Rp30.5 million.

"The suspect is a former employee who works in the victim's company," he added.

Every suspect's activities in his work use the company's email account using the Realmi mobile device.

When it was removed from the company, it turned out that the email account was not yet logout, so the suspect took advantage of the email attached to his cellphone.

As a result of his actions, the suspect was charged with Article 362 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 66 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Law of the Republic of Indonesia NUMBER 1 OF 2024 concerning the second amendment to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2008 concerning information and electronic transactions.
