JAKARTA - As many as 56 illegal online loans (Pinjol) employees were secured, the police named 6 suspects. The suspects had the initials IK as a debt collector, JS as a leader, NS as supervisor, RRL as a debt collector, HT as a leader, and MSA as reporting.

"So why are they so eager to collect collections, apparently because there is a 12 percent portion of them that is enjoyed by them (debt collectors)", said Central Jakarta Metro Police Deputy Chief, AKBP Setyo Koes Heriyanto, to VOI, Tuesday, October 19.

Setyo emphasized that this online loan practice operates individually.

"They have operated since the beginning until now they have 5,700 customers. For the imposition of 12 percent, every billing (each creditor) he (debt collector) gets 12 percent of the billing", explained Setyo.

A total of 57 CPU (computer) units, 56 mobile phones, 2 laptops, and one CCTV device were confiscated and are still being investigated by the Central Jakarta Metro Police.

The six suspects were charged with Article 29 Jo Article 4 paragraph 1 of Indonesian Law No. 44 of 2008 concerning pornography, and/or Article 45 paragraph 1 in conjunction with Article 27 paragraph 1 concerning ITE Juncto Article 55 paragraph 1 and Article 56 of the Criminal Code.

"So there is a Criminal Code law that we apply, namely the pornography law and the ITE law", he said.

Previously, it was reported that the Central Jakarta Metro Police Special Criminal Investigation Unit arrested 56 online loan syndicates at a shophouse in Sedayu Square, West Jakarta.

From the results of police investigations, it is suspected that the shophouse often disturbs the public because it often threatens the safety of loan borrowers.
