JAKARTA - Nur Luthfiah (NL), the mastermind behind the murder of Sugianto (51), allegedly embezzled the funds from the victim's company, PT Dwi Putra Tirtajaya, as much as IDR 100 million. The number may continue to grow as the investigation progresses.

"We only found (that the alleged embezzlement) is around IDR 100 million. We haven't found other things yet," said South Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Sujdarwoko, to reporters, Wednesday, August 26.

The embezzlement could reach billions of rupiah. Because in the report, there are several files or pieces of evidence attached. 

"Yes, most likely up to (billions). But currently, the fact only shows that there are only 100 million," said Sujdarwoko.

In this case, they will do further investigation on the company funds. Later, there will be an answer from the question: where did NL get the funds to pay the shooter? 

"We will also explore the IDR 200 million. Where did it come from, we will also explore it later," concluded Sujdarwoko.

Previously, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit for the North Jakarta Metro Police, Police Commissioner Wirdhanto Hadicaksono, said that Sugianto's family had reported that Nur Luthfiah embezzled the company funds. This report is the aftermath of a premeditated murder case that took place at Ruko Royal Gading Square, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta.

In this murder case, 12 people became suspects. Sugianto was shot to death five times.

NL has worked as a financial administration employee at Sugianto's company since 2012. She was offended because of Sugianto's scolding. Sugianto also often asked her to have sex with him. Sugianto suspected NL to be involved in tax issues. So, he threatened that he would report her to the police.
