BOGOR - Bogor Police personnel in West Java, began to make efforts to clean up fake journalists by arresting men with the initials Y and AZ who extorted tens of millions of rupiah. "We have detained Y and AZ. He threatened to report something. If you want not to report it, tell him to hand over the money," said Head of the Leuwiliang Police, Bogor Police, Kompol Agus Supriyanto in Bogor, Antara, Friday, January 13. He explained, Y with the media frill of Swara Desaku and AZ from Metro Media was arrested last Thursday in Leuwisadeng, after asking for money from the head of Sibanteng Village, Leuwisadeng District. Both threatened to report a case regarding the village head. Y and AZ, said Supriyanto, initially asked for Rp50 million, then lowered the request for Rp32 million and again lowered it to Rp15 million. "Then Rp10 million was handed over, then Rp5 million asked for another week. Later, if within a week it is not submitted, news goes up," he said. According to him, the case referred to by Y and AZ was related to allegations of illegal levies on the implementation of the non-cash Food Assistance program in Sibanteng Village. "So he thinks there are illegal levies. But it's not proven like illegal levies. What he said was done was an individual from RT RW. Then why was he blackmailed into a village head, who wanted to be asked for (money), reported all kinds of things in his village head," he said. He said Y and AZ were still at the Leuwiliang Police Headquarters for further investigation.
