The Semarang Polrestabes in Central Java raised the case of alleged falsification of certificates of achievements used to register for the acceptance of new students (PPDB) in 2024 into investigations.

"It has gone up to investigation, so we can make forced efforts to collect evidence," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Semarang Polrestabes Kompol Andika Dharma Sena in Semarang, Friday, July 12, confiscated by Antara.

In handling the case of the certificate of the achievement of the Malaysian marching band championship, the International Virtual Band Championship 2022, he said, 12 witnesses had been questioned.

The witnesses who have been examined include the school, school committee, and parents of students who used the allegedly fake charter to register for school.

As for the coach of the SMPN 1 Semarang marching band with the initials S, according to him, until now the person concerned has never fulfilled the investigator's summons.

"S is no longer in Semarang. If S does not come as a witness, S will not come, we will look for it," he said.

Meanwhile, the alleged fake charter user, he said, could be convicted if he found out that the document was fake, but was first used to register for school.

Previously, 69 students of SMPN 1 Semarang allegedly used a certificate of allegedly fake achievement to register at a number of SMA/SMK during PPDB 2024.
