INDRAMAYU - Indramayu Police Chief AKBP M Lukman Syarif said that he would continue to pursue syndicates for stealing subsidized fertilizers, because they have disturbed farmers. This syndicate sells at a price above the highest retail price (HET).

"This still needs further investigation, because the case should not stop here," said Indramayu Police Chief AKBP Lukman Syarif, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, February 16.

He said that the syndicate of abusers of subsidized fertilizers is indicated to have been in action for a long time, for this reason it is necessary to have an in-depth investigation so that the case can be fully investigated.

Because, said Lukman, farmers should get subsidized fertilizer at a cheap price, but they actually take excessive profits.

"We are carrying out efforts to disclose the distribution," he said.

Lukman said that his party also continues to coordinate with other police stations, because the syndicate of misuse of subsidized fertilizers is carried out between regions.

"The team is still coordinating with several police stations, we will reveal it completely. Because this is only the beginning," he said.

Lukman added that this subsidized fertilizer fraud syndicate is looking for a fairly high profit, where per zak can reach Rp. 100-150 thousand.

According to him, the modus operandi carried out by the subsidized fertilizer syndicate in Indramayu is to buy subsidized fertilizers in large quantities in other areas.

"Then it is circulated in Indramayu Regency at a price above HET," he said.

Currently, the Indramayu Police have arrested 10 perpetrators of abusers of subsidized fertilizers, and they are subject to economic crimes with the threat of imprisonment for two years.
