BANJARMASIN - A fictitious online social gathering dealer, a Polwandi Polresta Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan with the initials RA was sentenced to two years and six months in prison by the Public Prosecutor (JPU) at a hearing at the Banjarmasin District Court.

"The defendant is also required to pay restitution (compensation) for the loss of six victims caused by his actions," said Banjarmasin Public Prosecutor's Office Radityo Wisnu Aji when reading out his demands.

The total restitution that the defendant had to pay to the six victims in the case file was more than IDR 628 million.

The claim is based on the public prosecutor's belief that the defendant has been legally and convincingly proven to have committed a criminal act of fraud as charged in the first indictment, namely Article 378 of the Criminal Code.

Meanwhile, claims related to restitution are additional criminal charges based on a decision from the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) that has been received by the public prosecutor.

According to Radityo, if the panel of judges grants the demands, the evidence that has economic value can be confiscated by the state and auctioned off and the results are calculated as restitution for the victims.

In this case, there are a number of evidences in the form of houses, electronic goods and cash that have been confiscated since the investigation at the Banjarmasin Police and the General Criminal Investigation Directorate of the South Kalimantan Police.

It is known that RA and her husband, a member of the Banjarmasin Police with the initials MS, have been named suspects for alleged fictitious online social gathering practices with a total of 320 victims and a total loss of Rp11 billion.
