A man from East Lombok with the initials AH (26) is suspected of carrying out a fraud by offering victims to invest in crypto assets.
Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Mataram Police, Kompol I Made Yogi Purusa Utama, said investigators named AH as a suspect suspected of violating Article 372 of the Criminal Code regarding embezzlement and/or Article 378 of the Criminal Code regarding fraud.
"In accordance with the evidence and examination, we have named the perpetrator as a suspect and we have detained him," said Yogi as quoted by ANTARA, Friday, May 19.
Currently investigators are finalizing the case file. Yogi explained that this case was revealed by a report by a victim who claimed to have been deceived by the suspect AH mode.
"The method is to promise profit from the victim's investment," he said.
The victim was also interested in investing after hearing the story of the suspect who had already made a profit of IDR 3 million in a week from an investment capital of IDR 9 million.
Tempted by the suspect's story, the victim invested Rp. 149 million. From that offer, the suspect promised to share profits with the victim after 3 months.
"The promise is within 3 months, this suspect will make the capital of Rp. 149 million Rp. 300 million," he said.

However, he continued, on the maturity date of the distribution of profits, the suspect disappeared without any news.
It was later revealed that the capital given by the victim had run out on the crypto table. Therefore, AH tried to escape by blocking the victim's contact number.
The victim, who felt a loss, then reported AH to the police. As a result of the report, the police managed to find and immediately made an arrest.
"From the results of the tracking, the suspect's whereabouts were revealed in the East Lombok area. We arrested him last weekend," said Yogi.
