The Salatiga Police, Central Java, arrested a seller of counterfeit money with evidence of thousands of rupiah bills allegedly fake in various denominations. Head of the Salatiga Police Criminal Investigation Unit, AKP Arifin Suryani, said his staff arrested a man with the initials AS, a resident of East Purwokerto, Banyumas Regency, along with evidence of thousands of counterfeit bills ready for distribution. The disclosure of the case stems from the failure to send dozens of counterfeit notes of Rp. 50,000 and Rp. 100,000 using expedition services in early November 2023. In thwarting the shipment of the counterfeit money package, the police arrested DA, who is the owner of the package. "From this DA, the team then traced the shipment of packages domiciled in Purwokerto," he said in a statement in Semarang, Antara, Thursday, November 30. From the results of reconnaissance, the Salatiga Police Criminal Investigation Team finally arrested AS while in a freight forwarding service agent. From the US confession, there are six packages of counterfeit money that have been sent outside Java. Meanwhile, from the results of the search at the suspect's house, thousands of counterfeit notes of Rp. 50,000 and Rp. 100,000 were ready to be distributed and counterfeit bills that had not been cut. According to Arifin, the perpetrators market counterfeit money from their production through social media.

For his actions, the suspect was charged with Law Number 7 of 2011 concerning currency and Article 245 of the Criminal Code concerning counterfeit money dealers.
