"Notary Ina Rosaina has been successfully arrested in the Kalibata apartment," said Head of the Harda Sub-Directorate of the Criminal Investigation Directorate of the Metro Jaya Police, AKBP Petrus Silalahi to VOI, Tuesday, November 23.

Meanwhile, for one other suspect, Erwin Rudian is still in search of his whereabouts. The arrest was made because the two were not present in the examination schedule.

Moreover, they have been absent from the examination schedule twice. First, on the inspection schedule on November 17 and November 22.

"Notary Erwin Riduan has not been found at the address he is looking for," he said briefly.

Erwin Rudian and Ina Rosaina have been named as suspects in the land mafia case, Nirina Zubir. However, they were not detained for several reasons.

In the case of the land mafia, the police have actually named five suspects. Three of them have been detained, namely, Riri Khasmita, Endrianto, and a notary Faridah.

Riri Khasmita is known to be a former assistant to Nirina Zubir's late mother.

Based on the investigation, Riri had sold and mortgaged the land belonging to Nirina Zubir's parents. As a result, Riri pocketed Rp7.4 billion of money.

The suspects were charged with Article 378 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 372 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 263 of the Criminal Code. They face up to five years in prison.
