JAKARTA - The Makassar Immigration Detention Center (Rudenim) deported a Dutch citizen, George David Franciscus Makatita because it was proven to manipulate population data.

Makassar's Head of Rudenim Alimuddin said the deportation was carried out after it was proven that the Dutch citizen data had been manipulated.

"This epidemic before being deported was detained at the Ambon Class II Rutan on March 24, 2022 for the crime of manipulating population data," said Alimuddin, Saturday, September 10.

Alimuddin explained that the criminal violation of manipulation of population data was contained in Article 94 of Law no. 24 of 2013 concerning Population Administration. George David was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison.

During his detention, George received general remission on August 17, 2022. Therefore, George finished serving his sentence on August 17, 2022, which should have been released on September 5, 2022. GD served a sentence in the Ambon Class II Rutan for a total of 1 year and 5 months.

Alimuddin explained that after the criminal period was over, George was then handed over to the Immigration Office Class I TPI Ambon and was detention for three days.

On August 20, 2022, George was transferred to the Makassar Immigration Detention Center in the context of deportation to the country of origin in accordance with Article 75 paragraph 1 of Law Number 11 of 2011 concerning Immigration.

"After 20 days of detention at the Makassar Immigration Detention Center, George was deported back to the Netherlands," he continued, quoted from Antara.

Alimuddin said that George's deportation process did not encounter any problems, this is because he already has a travel certificate, as well as a ticket back to his country.

"Before being transferred, George already had a travel letter as well as a departure ticket to the Netherlands, so the deportation process did not take long, we usually face deportation problems if the detainees do not have a travel letter or passport," he said.
