Central Jakarta Metro Police detailed that victims of fraud and embezzlement of Coldplay Concert tickets reached IDR 5.1 billion from six victims who made police reports at the Central Jakarta Metro Police.

The police have named a suspect named Ghisca Debora Aritonang alias GDA (19) for fraud and embezzlement of Coldplay concert tickets. Suspect Ghisca Debora Aritonang is a student.

"The total loss of the victims reached Rp5.1 billion from 2268 tickets," said Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Susatyo Purnomo Condro, Monday, November 20.

The six victims who made a report at the Central Jakarta Metro Police with the initials FVS suffered a loss of 1.350 billion from 700 tickets. The victim's initials AS suffered a loss of IDR 1.030 billion from 600 tickets.

MF victims suffered a loss of Rp1.3 billion from 500 tickets, SG victims suffered a loss of Rp73 million and 58 tickets, AR suffered a loss of 1.3 billion from 400 tickets, and CL suffered a loss of Rp230 million.

In the action, the suspect Ghisca Debora Aritonang was moded to "war ticket". He admitted that he only took a profit of IDR 250 thousand per ticket.

"The motive in question can be a profit of Rp250 per ticket. The mode is that after the war ticket, the suspect GDA gets 39 tickets and has been handed over (to the previous customer). The suspect GDA then offers as a reseller to his friend as a commitment that was promised to be obtained before the concert," he said.

However, GDA from May to November never had any communication with the victims again. So that the victim who felt cheated finally reported it to the Central Jakarta Metro Police.
