JAKARTA - The police found criminal elements in cases of alleged fraud and embezzlement with reported Evelin Dohar Hutagalung (EDH). So, in the case title, it was decided that the status of the case would go up to the investigation stage.

Evelin Dohar Hutagalung (EDH) is a former attorney for Arif Nugroho, a victim of alleged extortion committed by the former Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the South Jakarta Metro Police, AKBP Bintoro.

"The title of the case has agreed to raise the status of case handling from the investigation to the investigation stage," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Ary Syam Indradi to VOI, Saturday, February 8.

Dengan peningkatan status kasus tersebut ke penyidikan, tim penyidik akan melakukan serangkaian proses pendalaman dan penyelisutan. Tujuannya untuk mencari dan menetapkan tersangka.

"The investigative team will carry out a series of investigative activities to find and collect evidence, which with that evidence makes light of the criminal acts that occurred and in order to find the suspects," said Ade.

Regarding the series of cases of alleged fraud or embezzlement, it began when the reported party asked Arif Nugroho to sell his car. Where, the proceeds from the sale are intended as a cost of managing the legal case that is being carried out by Arif, who is known to be the son of Prodia's boss.

In the buying and selling process, Arif actually asked that the proceeds from the sale of his luxury car be handed over to him first before being used to take care of the case. The value reaches Rp. 3.5 billion.

However, the request was not made by the reported party. In fact, even that money has not been received by Arif until now.

"However, until now the victim's luxury car sales money has not been given by the reported party, and currently the victim's car has not been returned by the reported party," said Ade.

For the actions of the reported party, Arif suffered a loss of Rp. 6.5 billion. Currently, continued Ade, the investigative team will investigate the alleged fraud, embezzlement, and/or money laundering (TPPU).

Arif Nugroho through his attorney reported the case to the Polda Metro Jaya. The report is registered with the number LP/B/612/I/2025/SPKT/Polda Metro Jaya.

In the report, the reported party is suspected of violating Article 378 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 372 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 3 and/or Article 4 and/or Article 5 of Law no. 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of the Crime of Money Laundering (TPPU).
