Two forgers of police records (SKCK) documents were finally arrested by the Gowa Police Criminal Investigation Unit team, South Sulawesi, after following up on reports from people who felt aggrieved by their actions.

"The first is the initials A and the second is the initials M. The role of the first actor markets or offers people who follow the requirements for entering the PPPK (Government Employees with Work Agreements)," said Gowa Police Chief AKBP Muhammad Aldy Sulaiman as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, November 19.

Meanwhile, the role of the second actor is in charge of editing and producing fake SKCK according to orders from the first perpetrator. The evidence confiscated included one laptop unit used to make a SKCK and 91 fake SKCK documents.

"There are several fake SKCKs that have been secured in the manufacturing or delivery process to this fake SKCK order. How to send them via WhatsApp in the form of PDF documents. Both have been named suspects," said the Chief of Police. The suspect used as a means of communication between the customer and the maker of the fake SKCK. Head of Intelligence and Security at the Gowa Poltes AKP Sahrial explained that the SKCK document was concluded to be fake because it clearly shows a very striking difference with the original document.

"So this is a fake white sheet SKCK, while for the original SKCK it is a yellow sheet of paper. It is printed on white paper, but the photo is colored, while the original yellow paper and printed should have a black and white photo," he said.

Furthermore, the font or letter of writing is different which is edited with the original look. Then in fake SKCK, it still includes fingerprint files or still uses the old format, while the original and new ones do not use or display fingerprints.

Meanwhile, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Gowa Police, AKP Bahtiar, added that the act of falsifying this document was illegal. In addition to falsifying the SKCK, the perpetrator also falsified a drug-free certificate. The making is the same as the SKCK document.

"The profit or reward earned by the perpetrator per sheet is Rp. 15 thousand or depends on the agreement. The order, apart from Gowa Regency, is also outside. We are still investigating the number of their advantages, including the presence of other parties," he said.

This case, he said, was immediately completed or P21, then sent to the Gowa District Attorney's Office for trial in court. Both are suspected of articles 263 and 264 of the Criminal Code concerning Counterfeiting Letters with a penalty of 6 years in prison.
