JAKARTA - A man with the initials AR (31) admitted that he was a member of Commission III of the DPR RI was arrested by members of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Tanah Abang Metro Police for a fraud case for registration to enter the Police.
Pelaku ditangkap setelah melakukan aksi penipuan terhadap A (30) warga Tangerang hingga mencapai kerugian Rp750 juta.
Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Susatyo Purnomo Condro said the suspect's fraudulent mode was to give a false promise to include the victim and his family as members of the National Police.
The incident began in February to May 2025 at the DPR RI Building, Central Jakarta.
The victim with the initials A knew suspect AR who claimed to be a member of Commission III of the DPR RI. The perpetrators took advantage of the big names of institutions and council members to carry out their actions.
"This mode tarnishes the good name of the institution. This is a form of crime that is very detrimental to the community and must be eradicated. We will not tolerate anyone who tries to take advantage of the position or influence for personal gain in the process of selecting members of the Police," said Kombes Susatyo when confirmed, Monday, October 13, 2025, evening.
His party will also continue to dismantle networks with similar modes.
"We make sure that anyone who plays in this illegal practice will be pursued and take firm action," he said.
