Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Public Relations Division Kombes Gatot Repli Handoko

JAKARTA - The National Police Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) said Fakar Suhartami Pratama alias Fakarich was an affiliate recruiter for Binomo. Recruitment is done through social media.

"The person in question is always an affiliate recruiter through social media," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police's Public Relations Division, Kombes Gatot Repli Handoko, Monday, March 28.

However, it is not clear whether Indra Kenz was also recruited by Fakar as an affiliate.

Previously, it was reported that the man known as Fakarich was the mentor or teacher of the suspect in the fraudulent investment case under the guise of Binomo.

To explore this case, Fakar was actually scheduled to undergo an examination on Monday, March 21. It's just that Fakar did not fulfill the call.

Investigators also sent a second summons. The letter was sent today but it is not yet known when the second examination will take place.

"Investigators will send a second summons today," said Gatot.

As previously reported, Fakar is said to be Indra Kenz's mentor or teacher. He is said to have taught Crazy Rich Medan to become an affiliate.

"(Mentor Indra Kenz, ed) the information is Fakar," said the Director of Special Economic Crimes at the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency Brigadier General Whisnu Hermawan.

In fact, Fakar is also suspected of being the person who taught Indra Kenz to eliminate evidence, including cellphones and transfer balances to other accounts so that they cannot be traced.

"Maybe yes, we can't conclude directly huh," said Whisnu.
