GOWA - Gowa Police, South Sulawesi, submitted a request to the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections to prevent three perpetrators who are on the wanted list (DPO) in the case of a syndicate of counterfeit money factories at the UIN Alauddin Campus from escaping abroad.

The three perpetrators are still being chased by the Gowa Police Satreskrim after previously establishing and detaining 17 suspects related to the syndicate of making and circulating counterfeit money in the area.

Gowa Police Chief, AKBP Reonald Simanjuntak, said that one of the three DPOs with the initials ASS, known as a politician and businessman, is suspected of being a key witness in this case. In addition, another key witness, with the initials M, has died of a heart attack.

"We have sent a letter to the Immigration Office to prevent the perpetrators of this DPO from escaping abroad," said Reonald on Monday, December 23.

Reonald emphasized that the statements from the three DPOs were very important to reveal the extent of the involvement of other suspects in the network of counterfeit money syndicates at the Alauddin UIN Campus.

"The statements of these three people will clearly reveal the involvement of the suspects in this counterfeit money case," he added.

Until now, the Gowa Police have examined six witnesses and named 17 people as suspects in this case. The police are committed to continuing to investigate the case thoroughly.

The syndicate of counterfeit money was in the spotlight after it was revealed that it was operating on the UIN Alauddin campus. The police continue to investigate the network involved and are trying to uncover the main actors behind this case.
