The Mataram City Police (Polreta) has uncovered a case of alleged fraud in the mode of offering a diesel fuel procurement project (BBM) at the Limited Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara (AMNT) Company.

The perpetrators of AM are known to be residents of Sumbawa and SP from Blitar, East Java (East Java), while the victim has the initials RP who is an active member of the National Police.

"The method is that the two perpetrators lure victims to get fuel procurement projects in Amman Mineral by promising a 7.5 percent profit from the initial capital," he said.

The perpetrators AM and SP admitted to the victim RP having a company of PT Duta Alam Nusantara which had collaborated with Amman Mineral. The two perpetrators offered a profit on condition that the victim RP deposited a capital of Rp. 100 million.

"Considering the perpetrator's offer, this victim agreed to cooperate," he said.

Following up on the agreement, the victim sent two people to meet the two perpetrators at a hotel in the Mataram City area.

"From that meeting, the victim was sure and sent an initial capital of Rp. 50 million to the account of the perpetrator AM," said Yogi.

After the meeting and sending initial capital, the victim found out the legality and cooperation between PT Duta Alam Nusantara and Amman Mineral. "From the search results, it turns out that PT Duta Alam Nusantara has no cooperation with Amman Mineral," he said.

Knowing this, the victim asked for the money back. However, the request did not receive a response until the victim reported the two perpetrators to the police.

"So, from the victim's report, we arrested the two perpetrators last weekend in Sumbawa," he said.

Based on the results of the examination of evidence, the two perpetrators were named as suspects under the suspicion of Article 378 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 372 of the Criminal Code.

"Now we have detained the two of them who are suspects at the Mataram Police Detention Center," he said.
