JAKARTA - The police will examine representatives from PT Kimia Farma and the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) about the alleged fraud and harassment case during the rapid test at Soekarno-Hatta Airport with the suspect Eko Firstson YS alias EFY.

"Today we are scheduled to examine the person in charge for the rapid test at the airport's terminal 3, in this case PT Kimia Farma. Then we will also check from IDI," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus to reporters, Thursday, September 24.

Investigations aim to confirm the employment and professional status of the suspect. Because, from the information Eko got, he was referred to as medical personnel and doctors.

"We want to confirm again that this suspect is a doctor or health worker because this is still confusing," he said.

Previously, Yusri said, Eko was charged with fraud because the suspect tricked the victim by convincing him that he could change the results of the rapid test as long as he was given some money.

"Individual health workers during the rapid test, which we suspect here in Article 378 is about fraud," said Yusri.

Meanwhile, for the alleged harassment, Yusri said investigators had not applied the criminal charges. This is because there is not enough evidence to apply the criminal charges of Article 294 of the Criminal Code to the suspect.

The allegation of blackmail and sexual harassment first emerged after being shared via the Twitter account @listongs. Starting with the rapid test, the victim admitted that he met an officer with the initials EFY at Soekarno-Hatta Airport on Sunday, September 13. The victim was about to fly to Nias, North Sumatra.

In its thread, @listongs said that EFY offers convenience for administering rapid tests. EFY called the victim also claimed to be able to replace the data from the rapid test results even though @listongs was sure the results of the rapid test being undertaken would be inactive.

Finally, the victim received the rapid test result letter and went straight to the check-in counter at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. However, according to the victim, the rapid test officer continued to follow him and asked him to chat in a quiet place.

There, EFY officers according to @listongs asked for additional money beyond the official rapid test fee. The victim asks the nominal officer the officer means. However, when the victim mentioned the figure of Rp1 million, the officer asked for an additional.

Until finally @listongs gave Rp1.4 million. @listongs includes proof of transfer in the thread.

But after that, officers according to @listongs committed sexual harassment. He tried to kiss the victim and feel the victim's breast. The victim was in deep shock by the abuse she received.
