According to him, reports of brokering practices in the recruitment of workers can be submitted to the Karawang Police, so that legal handling can be carried out.

This is done in order to create a deterrent effect on labor brokers who are detrimental to people who are looking for work.

Through information on job vacancies, he said, all companies are expected to recruit through one door.

"We are grateful to the Karawang Police for taking firm action against brokers," he said.

Previously, the Karawang Police on Thursday, July 27, announced the disclosure of the practice of brokering in the recruitment of labor by a 33-year-old woman.

"The perpetrator with the initials RR, a resident of Pangkalan District, Karawang Regency," said Karawang Police Chief AKBP Wirdhanto Hadicaksono.

In accordance with the results of the examination, the perpetrators have temporarily committed fraud against 10 job seekers in Karawang.

The fraud case under the guise of employment recruitment was revealed after the police received reports from the victim's community.

"So, initially we received a report about May 1, 2013, there were a number of people who were victims of fraud or embezzlement by a woman who lured jobs in private companies," he said.

In the action, the perpetrator promised the victim that he could work in a company in the Karawang industrial area. However, it must deposit some money on the grounds of administrative costs.

"The administrative money requested by the perpetrators is different, ranging from Rp. 6 million to Rp. 8 million per person," he said.

To trick the victims, the perpetrators conducted a series of labor entry and health checks or fictitious "medical check-ups" at a clinic in this area.

After handing over some money and conducting work entry tests and health checks, he continued, it turned out that the victims had not yet received work calls from the company.

"The victims then checked with several companies promised, but the company admitted that it had not received workers or had no job vacancies," he said.

Feeling cheated, the victims then contacted the perpetrators to return their money. However, the perpetrator asked for time to block the contacts of the victims, then disappeared without news.

After trying to disappear and moving around for a month, the police gave chase in several places. Until finally the perpetrator was arrested by the police without a fight at his residence.

During the arrest, the police confiscated evidence in the form of six printed out sheets of bank statements, as well as 2 receipts for the handover of Rp. 10 million and Rp. 3 million.

For this action, the perpetrator is now detained at the Karawang Police Headquarters detention center and is threatened with Article 378 in conjunction with Article 372 of the Criminal Code with a maximum threat of 4 years in prison.
