JAKARTA - Celebrity Rachel Vennya has undergone an examination regarding the use of an RFS number plate which is suspected to be incompatible with the Motorized Vehicle Number (TNKB). During the inspection, new facts emerged regarding the car and the RFS license plate used.

Rachel Vennya's own examination lasted two hours. This celebgram is checked from 07.00 to 09.00 western Indonesia time or earlier than the inspection schedule which starts at 10.00 western Indonesia time.

Investigators from Traffic Directorate of Metro Jaya Police more or less questioned Rachel with 15 questions. Thus, it is known that the Alphard car with the police number (nopol) B 139 RFS was changed in color.

Head of Sub-Directorate for Law Enforcement of Traffic Directorate of Metro Jaya Police Grand Commissioner Adjutant Argo Wiyono said, Rachel Vennya deliberately changed the color of her car from white to black by coating it with stickers.

"So the actual color is metallic white, with the license plate number B 139 RFS. Where the color has been recognized, it has been changed to matte black," said Argo.

The color change has been done since last year. Where, for that color change, Rachel had to pay Rp8 million.

From the results of the examination, Rachel admitted that the reason for changing the color of the car was because from the beginning she wanted black. However, at that time there was no such desired color.

"The reason for using the sticker is because when he bought it at Toyota, in the showroom there was only white. Meanwhile, RV's brother wanted black, so she used black stickers," said Argo.

However, the change in the color of the vehicle was not accompanied by a change in the Vehicle Registration Certificate (STNK). Thus, violating the rules in Article 288 Paragraph 1 number 22 of 2009 concerning LLAJ.

"We have done a fine of Rp500 thousand," said Argo.

In addition, from the inspection, it was revealed that the vehicle tax with Nopol B 139 RFS had expired. In fact, Rachel Vennya was several months late to pay her taxes.

Based on data from the Regional Revenue Service, Rachel Vennya's vehicle tax was due last August.

However, even then the vehicle tax has been paid. The payment was made after the news about the car went viral.

"Well, yesterday, maybe because it went viral or how, it was immediately paid (vehicle tax)," said Argo.

"The tax has been extended until August 23. So it was only extended last Monday at Samsat at 14.00 western Indonesia time," he continued.

Even though she had paid the vehicle tax, Rachel Vennya's car was temporarily confiscated. The confiscation is carried out as a procedure while waiting for the trial process.

"After paying (the fine) of course you have to wait for the court process for 14 days so that the vehicle can be taken," said Argo.
