BANYUWANGI - The Banyuwangi City Police (Polresta) team has revealed a case of suspected forgery of a rapid antigen test letter.

The letter was issued by Pratama SWT Clinic, which is located in Bulusan Village, Kalipuro, Banyuwangi.

The person in charge of the clinic with the initials ES was named a suspect. The perpetrator is now in custody.

Banyuwangi Police Chief Kombes Nasrun Pasaribu said the alleged forgery was revealed on Friday, March 4.

At that time the police secured a group of pilgrim buses that were about to cross to Bali. The group contained 44 people and each brought a letter of rapid results.

"From the validation results of the ASDP Ketapang Port Health Clinic, 16 of them were not validated. The results of the investigation revealed that 16 people were suspected of having false results because swabs were not carried out," said Nasrun, Monday, March 7.

The suspect is currently being held at the Tanjungwangi Port Area Police Headquarters. The police are currently investigating the case and are trying to investigate the operation permit of the Pratama SWT clinic.

"We are still investigating the operating license from the clinic. Apart from the suspects, the police have also secured a number of evidences. Among them are 44 pieces of evidence of rapid antigen results, the clinic's operational car and proof of transaction money," he said.
