JAKARTA - A day after arriving in Indonesia, Maria Pauline Lumowa, the suspect in the BNI fraud attack worth IDR 1.7 trillion, began to undergo questioning. The examination material immediately questioned the flow of funds to the assets it owned.

Kabareskrim Polri Komjen Listyo Sigit said investigators would examine witnesses first. While looking for evidence of Maria Pauline Lumowa's involvement in the case.

"So in our future plans we will continue the examination of witnesses who can strengthen the role and involvement of the MPL's sisters," said Listyo in Jakarta, Friday, July 10.

From the examination of dozens of witnesses, investigators will then explore the flow of funds received by Maria. This is because his assets are suspected to be the result of the burglary case. After it is known that the assets purchased from the burglary money are known, the investigator will confiscate them to be used as evidence.

"Of course we are tracing assets to the flow of funds that go to MPL's sisters, which of course we will carry out later confiscation activities," said Listyo.

While waiting for the reexamination of dozens of witnesses, investigators will also write to the Dutch Embassy so that Maria can receive legal assistance during the examination process.

"We ask the Dutch embassy to provide legal assistance for the examination of suspects," said Listyo.

Maria was charged with multiple articles. Apart from the matter of bank burglary, the old woman will also be charged with the Corruption Crime Article (Tipikor) and Money Laundering (TPPU).

The two articles that would ensnare him, continued Listyo, were model A reports or investigators' findings. So that there are 2 police reports (LP) that ensnare Maria.

"Our plan is to implement Article 2 paragraph 1 of Law number 20 of 2001 regarding Corruption, the threat of life sentence. And Article 3 paragraph (1) of Law Number 25 of 2003 concerning TPPU, we will make this (TPPU) in a separate police report," concluded Listyo. .
