JAKARTA - The Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police continues to investigate cases of alleged fraud under the guise of binary options trading. In fact, the development was quite significant.
In that case, the Criminal Investigation Department began to trace the involvement of other affiliates to assets belonging to Indra Kenz. Where, Crazy Rich Medan has been named a suspect in the Binomo case.
Aim for Affiliate
The Director of Special Economic Crimes at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, Brigadier General Whisnu Hermawan, said that three people were being investigated for their involvement as affiliates.
Two of them were handled by his party and were the result of developing the Binomo case.
"Yes, we may have 2 more (Affiliators, ed)," said Whisnu to reporters, Tuesday, March 1.
The two affiliates were suspected of being involved based on the results of witness examinations. So, until now, its role and involvement are still being investigated.
Based on the information, the two affiliates had the initials PS and EL. However, there is no official statement regarding this yet.
Meanwhile, one other affiliate is called with the initials DS. The handling of these affiliates is in the Directorate of Cyber Crime.
"(The one being examined, red) is DS, yes," said Whisnu.
The investigation was carried out by the Directorate of Cyber Crimes because the reporting party did not report it to the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes. However, Whisnu stated that cases of alleged fraud were still being processed properly and according to the rules.
"The victim reported there, so in Cyber, it's the same thing," said Whisnu.
Indra Kenz's Assets
Apart from that, Whisnu stated that his party was investigating Indra Kenz's assets. This investigation is related to the crime of money laundering (TPPU).
In fact, tracing the flow of these funds will lead to the closest person who was splashed by Indra Kenz's money.
"We will also develop it to the closest people (Indra Kenz, ed)," said Whisnu.
This one-star general also stated that all parties suspected of being involved would be dealt with according to the rules.
"Whoever tastes or receives money from the crime of money laundering will definitely be hit, including those closest to him," said Whisnu.
So far, the Bareskrim in collaboration with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) has blocked four accounts belonging to Indra Kesuma alias Indra Kenz. The balance stored in the account reaches tens of billions.
"We have blocked 4 accounts that we have blocked. The money is there in the tens of billions," he said
However, Whisnu has not detailed the amount of money frozen from Indra Kenz's account. Only emphasized if it is still exploring other assets.
One of the assets being tracked is Indra Kenz's house and car. Investigators will seek information about whether there is a link between the purchase and the proceeds of the crime.
"Later, we will be together with PPATK friends to reveal the transaction. But we have to be careful with this, the evidence is not related. Like a car, where to buy a car, where does the money come from? Then, the house, the house must be approved first, " said Vishnu.
If the house and car belonging to Indra Kenz are proven to be the proceeds of crime, the police and PPATK will immediately confiscate them.
However, in the process, said Whisnu, the Police will wait for a court ruling. Court decisions are one of the administrative requirements.
"Yes, we have submitted it. Just wait for the verdict," said Whisnu.
