The Central Jakarta Metro Police Satreskrim arrested two counterfeit notes dealers with the initials RC and DL alias Zacky. The two suspects were arrested after successfully defrauding a victim with the initials RP, a resident of Kudus, Central Java, with a business capital mode. Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Komarudin said this case began when victims or whistleblowers needed money for business capital. And coincidentally, the RC perpetrator offered and agreed to provide capital assistance loan money to victims who needed Rp5 billion in cash. "Furthermore, the perpetrator RC was introduced to the suspect DL and also the suspect JK alias Andika who stated that he was able to provide capital loans provided that there had to be administrative money to expedite the process, with the amount of about 10 percent of the loan," said Kombes Komarudin, Tuesday, November 22. The victim was only able and had Rp100 million as a condition to facilitate this administration. And instead, he said, the perpetrator agreed by only giving a capital loan of Rp2 billion to the victim. "Furthermore, there was communication and agreement between the victim and the perpetrator by telephone at one of the shophouses in the Sumur Batu area, Kemayoran. Here, the victim met with the perpetrator DL who was escorted by the perpetrators of JK who handed over one bag which was said to contain Rp2 billion in cash," he said. In this case, he also said, the victim handed over the administrative process requirement money to the perpetrator in the amount of Rp. 100 million, which was immediately brought by the two perpetrators. "However, after opening it, the bag was found by the victim that the nominal value of the money was not in accordance with the figure of Rp. 2 billion. So the victim made a report at the Central Jakarta Metro Police, and we conducted further investigations and investigations regarding the money," he said. "And after we investigated it, it turned out that the money given by the perpetrator was not real money or not money according to the Rp100 thousand denomination," he continued. For this matter, he said, the team immediately arrested the perpetrators DL and RC and confiscated a bag containing money at their residence, where counterfeit money was found with denominations of Rp. 10 million with many 28 ties or Rp. 2.8 billion. "From the examination, the perpetrator admitted that he was an employee of one of the business investors' banks. And this is what also makes the victim believe that the perpetrator can provide capital assistance loans. However, the existing fact that the money is money that resembles or is designed to resemble real money," he said. The two suspects were charged with Article 378 and/or Article 372 of the Criminal Procedure Code, with the threat of imprisonment for 4 years.
