JAKARTA - The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police has pocketed the identity of the mastermind behind the fraudulent investment under the guise of Binomo trading. His figure is said to be abroad.

"For (dalang, ed) who are abroad, we already have one, because he is still an employee, he has another boss. There is a boss," said Head of Sub-Directorate II of the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes at the National Police Bareskrim Kombes Chandra Sukma Kumara to reporters, Thursday, April 7th.

However, the identity of the mastermind will not be revealed for the time being. It is certain that the mastermind behind Binomoni is a foreign national.

The disclosure of the mastermind in the Binomo case is based on the testimony of the suspect Brian Edgar Nababan (BEN). He is Binomo's Development Manager.

Even though they already have the identity of the mastermind, Chandra continued, his party is still investigating and gathering information.

From the results of the temporary investigation, Binomo trading abroad is legal. The authority to take action is not the domain of the Police.

"There is still no investigation (about the attempt to arrest him, ed), because it's related to Binomo, if it's overseas, it's legal, it's not our authorization," said Chandra.

According to Chandra Binomo trading center is in Russia. In controlling Binomo in Indonesia, 404 Group Companies are involved.

The 404 Group company is cooperating with the Russian Binomo company. Where, 404 Group employs Brian Edgar Nababan as a liaison so that Binomo enters Indonesia.

Brian Edgar Nababan did this by recruiting Indra Kesuma alias Indra Kenz and Fakar Suhartami Pratama alias Fakarich as affiliates.
