JAKARTA - The police revealed the motive behind the spread of hoaxes on the Omnisbus Law on Employment Creation. Based on the results of the investigation, the perpetrator with the initials VE (36) did so because he was disappointed.

"The motive was caused by a sense of disappointment because the perpetrator is no longer working," said Head of Public Relations of the Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono to VOI, Friday, October 9.

However, there was no detailed explanation since when the perpetrator lost his job. Argo only said that in the arrest of VE, his party confiscated several pieces of evidence. One of them is the cellphone used to upload the hoax post.

"The evidence is secured by the Black Redmi 6 Pro M1805D1SE Smartphone and 1 Telkomsel simcard," he said.

The arrest of VE was carried out on Thursday, 8 October in Panakkukang, Makassar. The arrest was based on a police report with the number LP / B / 573 / X / 2020 / Bareskrim, October 7, 2020.

The spread of hoaxes was carried out by the perpetrators through the social media account Twitter @videlyaeyang. With the spread of this fake news, it caused confusion in the community, especially among workers.

"Posting or broadcasting fake news on a Twitter account that causes confusion," said Argo.
