Tribratanews.polri.go.id - Jakarta.  Currently, the Central Jakarta Metro Police is still pursuing a suspect in the counterfeit money case with the name of Andhika. The perpetrator circulated the forged money by providing capital loans to victims of IDR 2 billion. In an investigation process, police confiscated a bag containing fake money with a value of IDR 2.8 billion.

Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Commissioner Komarudin, explained that his party had so far arrested two perpetrators with the initials RC and DL, and the police is still pursuing the main suspect.

"From the statements of the two perpetrators who have been arrested, the main perpetrators assigned RC as a marketing division to find the victim who want to borrow the fake money for their capital through online chat or door to door," explained the Central Jakarta Police Chief, quoted from Viva.co. id, Wednesday (11/23).

After that, RC told the victim to pay an administrative fee of 10% of the total Rp. 5 billion in order to be able to withdraw the loan. The victim was tempted with this lure, but only had IDR 100 million for administrative requirements. The perpetrator then gave a loan of IDR 2 billion instead to the victim.

"After the victim checked his loan money, he found out that his loan was not in accordance with the agreement of IDR 2 billion. Then the victim makes a fraud report. After we investigated it, it turned out that the money that was given was not real money,” concluded the Central Jakarta Police Chief.
