PALANGKA RAYA - The Sub-Directorate Team of Cyber Tipid Directorate of Special Investigation (Ditkrimsus) of the Central Kalimantan Police arrested a recidivist with the initials GT (37) who claimed to be a high official at the State Intelligence Agency (BIN). With his false status, GT committed fraud against one of the civil servants in Kapuas Regency. Kasubdit Tipid Siber Ditkrimsus Polda Kalteng Kompol Tris Zeno Alkindi said GT was arrested in Jakarta recently. "The victim currently has the initials MO, a civil servant in Kapuas Regency was deceived because GT promised that he could transfer his duties from the Ministry office in Kapuas to Palangka Raya City by giving money to the victim and causing a loss of Rp180 million," he said in Palangka Raya as reported by Antara, Thursday, December 21. On January 10, 2023, the suspect and the victim met through an application called HERNET. Then they exchanged cellphone numbers. At that time, the suspect met the victim claiming to be an official in the BIN agency who served with the rank of one-star general. The suspect met the victim using a fake identity in the form of an edited ID card. In communicating with the victim, the suspect often sends photos with state officials, thus convincing the victim that the suspect is indeed a state official. Furthermore, on January 15, 2023, where the two of them were increasingly intensive in communication, the suspect offered the victim the transfer of the victim's workplace in Kapuas Regency to Palangka Raya City. By convincing the victim that the suspect knew officials who could transfer someone to make the process easier. The suspect said that he had friends at the State Civil Service Agency (BKN) and then faced the Director General of Domestic Government to lobby the mutation of regional civil servants. Since the victim trusted the suspect to be a state official and was able to lobby for the transfer of civil servants, the victim complied with the suspect's wishes to prepare a sum of money which was then transferred to the suspect's account. "From January to May 2023, the victim had sent money amounting to approximately Rp180 million, because the money was received but had not been transferred, finally the victim reported and the Sub-Directorate V/Tipidsiber team of the Central Kalimantan Police Ditreskrimsus conducted an investigation to arrest the suspect without a fight," he said. For his actions, GT is subject to Article 51 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 35 of Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning electronic information and transactions and/or Article 378 of the Criminal Code. Then, Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning information and electronic transactions. "He was sentenced to a maximum imprisonment of 12 years and/or with a maximum of Rp12 billion," he said.

From the hands of the perpetrators of the Central Kalimantan Police Ditreskrimsus, they also managed to confiscate evidence such as ATM cards, account books, cellphones and sim cards. "In this case, we will also continue to investigate, and we have secured evidence from the hands of the perpetrators," said Tris Zeno Alkindi.
