JAKARTA - Bank Maybank Indonesia Tbk's attorney Hotman Paris Hutapea gave an explanation regarding the lost savings of e-sports athletes, Winda Lunardi or Winda Earl and their mother, Floleta. He stated that the return still had to wait for the trial process.

Furthermore, Hotman said, this decision was taken because he wanted this case to be clear and at the same time to prove who was guilty in the case of the disappearance of money belonging to Winda Earl and Floleta in Maybank.

In practice, Hotman said, there were several irregularities that the legal team found. Among these are the practices of banks within the bank carried out by suspects who are suspected of involving customers.

Then, the flow of funds released from Winda's account by suspect A amounted to IDR 6 billion to discuss the insurance policy. Then, back in the amount of Rp. 4.8 billion but through Winda's father's account in the name of Herman Gunardi.

"Maybank is a big bank, that kind of money is not difficult to pay. But it cannot be held accountable to the center if the irregularities are not resolved. It can be returned, if it is clear who was involved," he said, in a virtual press conference, Monday, November 9.

Hotman said, this case was not a burglary case in general which only involved a single perpetrator, so that the bank could replace customer funds. Given that this is a public fund, said Hotman, there needs to be further research regarding the parties that receive the flow of funds.

Furthermore, Hotman said, the National Police Headquarters had said that all those who received the money would be investigated, if they did not want to replace them, they would be made suspects.

"Outside the branch manager, it looks like someone else. That's why we ask the Police Headquarters for all the people who receive this money to be investigated and made suspects. There are 8 that should be examined, these are not yet," he said.

Hotman emphasized that his party did not accuse anyone. However, his party asked the 6 people who received the flow of funds outside of Winda and Herman to be accountable. One of them, the brother of suspect A.

"This is clear first. If there is no connection, what to do. We ask the investigators, we do not accuse any of the related people having committed a crime," he said.
