JAKARTA - The National Police emphasized that Maybak's efforts to compensate for the alleged theft of an account belonging to e-Sports athlete Winda Lunardi alias Winda Earl by the former Head of Cipulir Albert Branch (Kacab) will not change the investigation process. The reason is that this case involves individuals.

"With regard to the Maybank providing compensation, which clearly will not eliminate the criminal incident," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Awi Setiyono to reporters, Thursday, November 26.

In the alleged burglary case, the main suspect is Albert. Therefore, according to the police, Albert must be held accountable for the criminal act he committed.

Therefore, investigators will continue the investigation process. Including finding a flow of funds for these crimes.

"The criminal incident has already occurred, so there is criminal responsibility that must be borne by the perpetrator," he said.

Previously, PT Bank Maybank Indonesia Tbk spokesperson Tommy Hersyaputera said that his party would wait for the investigation process from the National Police Headquarters regarding the replacement of Winda Earl's remaining savings.

Tommy said Maybank's commitment to replace Wisma's lost savings money arose from a mediation process facilitated by the Consumer Protection Department, the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Currently, the mediation process is still continuing.

"We have stated our readiness to replace Rp. 16.8 billion. While the rest are still waiting for the investigation process by friends in the police," he told VOI, in Jakarta, Wednesday, November 25.

In this case, investigators have named Albert who is the Head of the Maybank Cipulir Branch as a suspect. So far, investigators have also confiscated several assets belonging to the suspect which were allegedly purchased with proceeds from crime.

There were also several assets confiscated, among others, one unit of building land in Jade Park Serpong 2 housing, Gunung Sindur, Bogor Regency, and one building land unit in Central Land Paradise Housing, Parung Panjang District, Bogor.

Then, assets in the form of a vehicle, namely the 2007 Nissan Livina were also confiscated. In fact, Rp 13 million in cash was also confiscated.
