DENPASAR - A woman named Lutfi Lanisya (24) from Ciamis, West Java, was arrested by the Denpasar Police, Bali, for falsifying a PCR test certificate at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali.

"She is a local tourist and visited Bali", said Denpasar Police Chief Kombes Jansen Avitus Panjaitan, at the Denpasar Police Headquarters, Bali, Monday, November 1.

The disclosure of the actions of the perpetrators who falsified the PCR test documents while at the Port Health Quarantine counter (KKP) of the Domestic Departure Terminal, I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali, on Sunday, October 31 morning.

At that time, a KKP officer named Indah Wulandari (30) at the PCR validation or inspection site was visited by perpetrators or prospective passengers of Citilink QG-193 airline bound for Jakarta by showing PCR documents.

When the PCR test results were checked, they turned out to be fake because the officers did not see the barcode on the document. After that, when checked on the PeduliLindungi application, it was found that there were no results of the PCR Lab examination, but only vaccine data.

It turned out that the perpetrator only carried out an antigen test at Siloam Hospital but the perpetrator edited it into a PCR test.

"After contacting Siloam Hospital, it was discovered that the reported party (perpetrator) only did an antigen test. Meanwhile, in the document shown to the reporter (KKP officer) the results of the PCR test are listed. For this incident, the reporter submitted the person concerned and the fake documents to the Airport COVID-19 Task Force, then the perpetrator was taken into custody", added Kombes Jansen.

Meanwhile, from the results of the interrogation, the perpetrator admitted that she had edited the antigen letter into a PCR. According to the perpetrator's statement, on Saturday, October 30, at around 22:10 WITA, he bought Citilink tickets via online booking.

On the same day at around 23.00 WITA, the perpetrator carried out an antigen test at the Siloam Hospital and the perpetrator received information for the Java-Bali flight using a negative PCR test.

Furthermore, because the antigen test result was negative, the perpetrator took a photo of the letter of the antigen test result using the perpetrator's cellphone cam scanner.

Then the photo of the antigen test results was edited and converted into RT-PCRR. After the perpetrator edited it and it was still in softcopy, then asked the hotel staff for help to be printed and taken to Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali.

"The modus operandi of the perpetrator is to edit the antigen letter into RT-PCR with her own cellphone", added the Denpasar Police Chief.

In this case, the police secured the iPhone 13 pro, 1 sheet of antigen test results, and edits. The perpetrators were charged with Article 263 Paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 268 paragraph 2 of the Criminal Code.
