JAKARTA - Since last October, the Football Antimafia Task Force has carried out prosecutions related to the score-fixing case. From the development of the investigation carried out in 2018, the team succeeded in uncovering the practice of scoring in the Indonesian League 3.

This case began to be revealed, since the match between the Persikari team against Perses Sumedang on November 6. The result of the match was considered unbalanced and it was suspected that there had been fraud by six suspects. They are a match kit, team management, and members of the West Java PSSI.

"DSP (main referee), BTR (Persikasi management), HR (Persikasi management), MR (intermediary), SHB (Persikasi manager) and DS (Asprov PSSI West Java Referee Assignment Commission)," said Head of the Antimafia Ball Task Force, Brigadier General Pol. Hendro Pandowo in Jakarta, Thursday, November 28.

Not only named six people as suspects, the anti-soccer task force is still hunting two other people who are intermediaries with the initials KH and exco PSSI West Java, HN. From the arrest, ATM cards, savings books, and cell phones were used as evidence in the case.

From the results of the provisional examination, cheating was committed in matches in League 3, one of which was Match Fixing which was masterminded by the Persikasi team management. The goal is to be able to win matches easily, so that you can move up the caste to League 2.

In fact, it was stated that the Persikasi team management bribed the match equipment with a certain amount of money. The nominal bribe paid was around Rp. 12 million. Even though the nominal amount of money was relatively small, the fraud committed was included in the criminal act of bribery in terms of score fixing.

A similar answer was said, when asked about how much money each person received. "The nominal figure is approximately 12 million, but the point is this is often done and is still being deepened," said Hendro.

As a result of their actions, the suspects were charged under Article 2 and Article 3 of Law No. 11 of 1980 concerning the Crime of Bribery and / or Article 55 of the Criminal Code, with a maximum imprisonment of 5 years and a maximum fine of Rp. 15,000,000.
