MAKASSAR - The Maros Police have arrested officials of the Makassar East Indonesia University (UIT) Tourism Hospital who produced fake antigen rapid test letters for dozens of potential passengers at Sultan Hasanuddin Airport, Maros.
"The perpetrator has been arrested in the early hours on Sunday", said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Maros Police, Iptu Rusli, to VOI, Monday, February 1.
The perpetrator was arrested at a house in Tanralili District, Maros. He was previously hunted down after it was found out that he made a fake antigen rapid test certificate on behalf of the Makassar UIT Tourism Hospital.
Meanwhile, the UIT Makassar Tourism Hospital emphasized that the hospital was not related and was not involved in a fake antigen rapid test case. The counterfeiters did forge certificates for the needs of the trip on personal initiative.
"And we inform this person who falsifies the rapid antigen test letter who also works at UIT Tourism Hospital and we are forced to fire him because of taking action against the law and we will leave it to the authorities", said Public Relations of RSU Wisata UIT, Muh Sofyan.
