JAKARTA - PT Bank Central Asia (BCA) Tbk ensured that the main perpetrator of the burglary of BCA customer funds from Surabaya was not a pedicab driver.

This was conveyed by EVP Corporate Communication & Social Responsibility BCA Hera F. Haryn at an online press conference on BCA Performance Exposure, on Thursday, January 26.

"I straighten out a little that it is not true that the main perpetrator is a pedicab driver, but it is Toha, a boarding house resident who lives with our customer," said Hera.

Hera said that the case is currently being processed in court, so that his party is confident and believes that the justice system and law enforcement functions can provide justice in resolving this case.

In addition, BCA also provided legal assistance for related staff in the case.

"So because of this, we cannot enter the subject matter of the case, because it is currently still in the trial process. We respect the ongoing trial process," he said.

Furthermore, Hera also appealed to all customers to be more careful in the future, so that the same thing does not happen again.

"We continue to urge customers that ID cards, ATM cards, savings books, and PINs, if Mr. Jahja (President Director of BCA) calls them the second life. So, it is the most fundamental thing to maintain properly, not to share it with family, spouses, children, colleagues, trusted people, assistants, people who live in the same house once, not to know the information on banking secrets," he concluded.

Just so you know, Muin Zachry's Rp320 million was drained by a pedicab driver named Setu, in the city of Surabaya, East Java. The money was taken by Setu from Muin's Central Asia Bank (BCA) account through a bank teller.

Thoha took advantage of Setu, because his body and face looked like Muin. He then managed to trick the private bank officers by bringing the hundreds of millions of money.

Now, Setu and Thoha are being tried at the Surabaya District Court (PN).
