The Office of the Ministry of Religion of Grobogan Regency, Central Java, admitted that one of the suspects in the alleged counterfeit money case with the initials SD, which was revealed by the East Java Regional Police, was a state civil apparatus (ASN) of the Ministry of Religion Grobogan who served as a teacher of the local district MTs.

"The results of the check show that the name is indeed an ASN of the Ministry of Religion Grobogan who is an Indonesian language teacher at one of the MTs in Grobogan Regency," said Acting Head of the Grobogan Regency Ministry of Religion Ahmad Muhtadi, reported by Antara, Sunday, November 6.

He admitted that he knew that the ASN of the Grobogan Ministry of Religion was caught in a case of alleged counterfeit money from social media, because he was appointed as Acting Head of the Grobogan Ministry of Religion.

Sementara informasi lewat surat resmi, dia mengakui, belum menerima, sehingga masih menunggu kepastian nama tersebut apakah benar terlibat dalam kasus dugaan uang rupiah.

"With this case, of course, we are concerned," he said.

Because the person concerned has dared to do anything, he said, of course, he must also be responsible.

Regarding his status as an ASN, he added, according to the rules, of course there will be consequences, ranging from temporary dismissal to threats of dismissal by adjusting the sentence.

All ASNs at the Office of the Ministry of Religion, he said, should "accept in a pandemic" or accept any gifts as they are without demanding.

"According to a message from the leadership at the Central Java Ministry of Religion's Regional Office, all employees must measure according to the size of their own clothes, do not use other people's standards because they can be bigger than the pole or spend greater than income," he said.

The existence of this case, he added, through each working group will be asked to foster employees so that no one is caught in a legal case anymore.

Based on reports in a number of electronic media, it was stated that the East Java Regional Police in the release of counterfeit money cases stated that Sahid Danuji was suspected of having played a role in funding the purchase of printing machines and raw materials for making counterfeit money.

Together with his gang, printing counterfeit money is estimated to start March to April 2022 with a nominal printed around Rp. 2 billion. Meanwhile, those that have been circulating in the community are estimated to reach Rp1.2 billion and Rp800 billion of which are secured by the police.
