JAKARTA - The Bogor Resort Police revealed the mode used by fake Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) employees with the initials YS when extorting their victims from state civil servants from the Bogor Regency Government, West Java.

Bogor Police Chief AKBPRio Wahyu Anggoro explained that suspect YS frightened his victim with digital letters via his cell phone containing information on summons from the KPK institution for certain cases.

"The modus operandi carried out by the person concerned is to show a photo where there is a summons to the witnesses which has caused fear from the witnesses who were victims," Rio said as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, July 26.

The Bogor Police are still investigating the case, including finding out the involvement of other parties in the YS action.

"We will carry out the investigation thoroughly and we will seek the clearest possible truth so that all people in Bogor Regency, especially the Bogor Regency Government, can carry out their duties properly," he said.

The police chief explained that the YS suspect blackmailed the ASN of the Bogor Regency Government, West Java, up to IDR 700 million.

"The victim suffered a loss of Rp700 million with three submissions," he said.

The extortion incident happened to several state civil servants (ASN) from the Bogor Regency Education Office. Currently, they are still undergoing examination as witnesses at the Bogor Police Headquarters.

Rio explained that the Rp700 million worth of money was handed over to YS three times since 2023. In January 2023, Rp350 million was handed over at the Bogor Regency Education Office.

Then in April 2024 the victim again handed over Rp50 million in the Cibinong area and on April 3, 2024, the victim again handed over Rp300 million to YS at the Gunungputri Rest Area.

From the extortion incident against the Bogor Regency Government ASN, the police confiscated Rp300 million in cash, two luxury cars belonging to white Porsche suspects numbered B 1556 XD and white Toyota Alphard with police number F 1398 CE, two cell phones, and two BCA savings books.

"One Porsche car along with STNK and a car key related to yesterday's incident at 13.30 WIB, then one Alphard car whose connection was occurred in early January 2023," said Rio.

The YS suspect, who works as a contractor, is threatened with being charged with Articles 368 and 378 of the Criminal Code with a maximum penalty of 9 years in prison.
