JAKARTA - Yuli (53), was arrested by police officers for a case of alleged fraud worth Rp. 1.6 billion which he did recently. He was arrested by joint officers from the Jambi Regional Police's Resmob Resmob Team with the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police Headquarters.

Yuli's alleged fraud case was carried out in Jambi. Because of that, the officers immediately flew Yuli from Jakarta to Jambi, at around 11.45 WIB, under tight escort.

The alleged fraud occurred in December 2016. The case began when Suyanto (the reporting party) was in the business of buying and selling cement with Yuli (the reported person).

After finding an agreement on the price of cement between Yuli and Suyanto, who ordered 20,000 bags of cement at a price of Rp. 59 000 per bag, to the complainant. After that, Suyanto asked Yuli for money as a down payment and agreed to the down payment of Rp. 400 million, but the money that was transferred by Yuli was only Rp. 300 million.

Then on December 7, 2016, the reported party ordered another 10,000 sacks of cement at the same price and the complainant asked for an advance of Rp 100 million, but the down payment of Rp 100 million had not been sent by the reported party.
