JAKARTA - The victim of fraud and embezzlement of a luxury car with the initials AL (39) made a money transfer to the suspected Instagram celebrity Ajudan Pribadi with the initials Akbar PB alias Akbar alias Ajudan Pribadi (personal adjutant) (27) after an agreement was reached to purchase 2 units of luxury cars.

"So after the victim agreed and there was an agreement, the victim AL transferred IDR 400 million to the perpetrator's account number to buy a Land Cruiser. Then the victim transferred IDR 750 million to buy a Mercedes Benz and the remaining IDR 200 million was also transferred," said West Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes M. Syahduddi to reporters at the West Jakarta Police, Wednesday, March 15.

However, after being awaited by the victim, the two luxury cars were never given to the victim by the suspect. The victim, through his attorney, had given a summons to the suspect to act in good faith. However, this was ignored, so the victim and his attorney reported it to the West Jakarta Metro Police.

"The victim and lawyer gave 2 subpoenas but there was no response, because there was no good faith, they finally reported to the West Jakarta Police. After investigators received the police report, they invited the reported party and witnesses for clarification. However, the reported party was not present," he stressed.

Furthermore, because there was a fact-finding that there was an alleged criminal act and after the case was held, we did an increase in status.

"The reported party was summoned twice but did not appear," he said.

So that the West Jakarta Police Criminal Investigation Unit immediately arrested the suspect at his house which is located in Makassar, South Sulawesi.

"The house was raided but nothing. After several days of reconnaissance, the reported party was arrested while driving the vehicle on the street. Then we stopped the vehicle," he said.

The suspect was charged with Articles 378 and 372 with a threat of imprisonment of 4 years.
