JAKARTA - Bareskrim Polri decided to detain the founder of Muamalah Depok Market, Zaim Saidi. The reason is that in this case the investigator used an article that carries a sentence of more than five years.

"Yes, it is true (Zaim is detained)," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Rusdi Hartono in his statement, Thursday, February 4.

Rusdi said, in this case Zaim was accused of Article 9 of Law No.1 of 1946 concerning the administration of criminal law.

This article states that anyone who makes objects such as currency or banknotes with the intention of executing them or ordering them to be used as legal tender can be punished with a maximum imprisonment of 15 years.

In addition, another reason is because investigators think that Zain is concerned about running away and eliminating evidence. Thus, investigators decided to detain him.

"Due to subjective detention reasons, he is worried that he will run away and lose evidence," he said.

Previously it was reported, the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit arrested the founder of Muamalah Market in Depok, West Java, Zaim Saidi. This arrest was related to the use of dinars and dirhams as means of payment.

"Yes, we really secure those concerned," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Rusdi Hartono in his statement, Wednesday, February 3.

Rusdi said, the arrest of Zaim Saidi was carried out by the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes, Bareskrim Polri on Tuesday, February 2 Night.

In this case, investigators applied layered articles, namely, Article 9 of Law Number 1 of 1946 concerning criminal law and Article 33 Number 7 of 2011 concerning Currency.
