JAKARTA - Liswati could not help but be saddened to hear that her son Afifah was also arrested by the Polda Metro Jaya in the raid on an online loan collection company (pinjol) in Tangerang, Banten. Her son is paid Rp1.4 million a month with 10 hours of work every day.

“'My son has only been working here for a month. My son works as a work caller here. My son earns IDR 1.4 million per month. I was given Rp800,000 for daily sales, and he held Rp600,000 for daily use,” said Liswati sobbing, Thursday, October 14.

Afifah, 32, had time to give news to Liswati about the raids by the Polda Metro Jaya team.

"I was given information about my son, if I didn't go to the office first. Because there are a lot of police. I was worried that's why I came here right away," he said.

Previously, the police said that PT Indo Tekno, which was raided for online loans (pinjo), had been operating for three years. They charge in an uncivilized or barbaric way.

"This operation is still being investigated, the information is early in 2018 but it is still being investigated first," said the Head of Public Relations of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Yusri Yunus, to reporters, Thursday, October 14.

Based on the results of the interim inspection, the company charged in a rude manner. Starting from threats to spreading photos as if the party who can't pay is the perpetrator of an immoral crime.

"There are two types of billing, some are direct with threats. Second, collect through social media or telephone. On social media we find threats with pornographic images to borrowers, thus stressing the victim and forcing them to pay," said Yusri.

During the raid, 32 people were arrested by the police. However, Yusri has not detailed the roles of each of the arrested persons.

"There are 32 whose roles we will present later," said Yusri.

Previously, Polda Metro Jaya raided an online loan office (pinjol) in the Tangerang area. This raid was the result of the attention of the National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, regarding the eradication of illegal loans.

The borrowed office that was raided was in the Green Lake City area, Ruko Crown Blok C1-7, Tangerang.
