Badung District Prosecutor Ryan Mahardika in an indictment read out before the Denpasar District Court Judge said the defendant DennisValle was charged with violating Article 378 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) on Fraud Crimes.
According to the prosecutor, the defendant was suspected of committing fictitious transfer fraud to the villa owner.
The prosecutor explained that on April 20, 2025, the defendant DenisVallee came to Villa Beelia Luxe which is located on Jalan Pengubengan, North Kuta, Badung Regency, Bali to rent the villa.
During the meeting, the defendant and the witness who is also the owner of a villa named Nurhariani agreed on the rental price of the villa.
On April 22, 2025, the witness and the defendant made a lease agreement with a period of one year which will be effective from May 1, 2025 to May 1, 2026 with a value of IDR 5,035,000,000 per year with two terms of payment.
The first term payment, 50 percent of IDR 2,517,500,000 will be paid on May 1, 2025 and the second term, the remaining 50 percent of IDR 2,517,500,000 on August 1, 2025.

However, after checking the transfer evidence sent by the defendant, the witness found the name and address listed in the proof of the wrong transfer and the money was not received by the victim witness.
Furthermore, on May 6, 2025, the defendant again sent proof of Bank CIBC CENAIDJA transfer of 209,420.00 CAD (Canadian Dolar) to the BCA account number on behalf of Nurhariani.
