MATARAM - The intelligence team of the Mataram State Prosecutor's Office, West Nusa Tenggara, arrested a man with the initials AN who is suspected of carrying out fraudulent practices by claiming to be a prosecutor's official.

The Head of the Intelligence Section of the Mataram Kejari Heru Sandika Triyana, said AN carried out this mode when meeting with the Director of the North Lombok Regional General Hospital (RSUD).

"He claimed to be the prosecutor who came to the Director of the North Lombok Hospital with the intention and purpose of resolving one of the cases related to the hospital currently being handled by the NTB Attorney General's Office," said Heru in Mataram, quoted by Antara, Friday, January 28.

Information regarding the mode carried out by AN was followed up by his party with direct arrests in the room of the Director of the North Lombok Hospital.

"Thursday, January 27, we immediately took him to the (Mataram Kejari) office," he said.

From the results of the clarification, AN admitted that this mode had been carried out in March 2021 to the victim with the initials KSM. At that time, AN claimed to be the head of the prosecutor's intelligence section.

"At that time, he (AN) promised a hoarding project in the Hajj Dormitory area," he said.

With the profiteering mode of office, AN asked for a project dowry of Rp. 25 million. The victim, who was dragged into the AN mode, then handed over the token money through interbank transfers worth Rp. 10 million.
