The perpetrators of fraud and embezzlement under the guise of a bogus investment were successfully arrested by the Mendoyo Police Criminal Unit on Thursday (9/13). The perpetrator I Komang Ariana, 27, was arrested at his home at the Banjar Pasar, Pergung Village, Mendoyo District, Jembrana. At present the perpetrators are detained in Mendoyo Mapolsek to account for their actions.

Kanit Reskrim Mendoyo District Police, Ipda Gusti Ngurah Artha Kumara, with permission from the Mendoyo Police Chief, said the perpetrators allegedly committed fraud and embezzlement against the victim Ni Putu Yuliani, 34, from Banjar Pulukan, Pulukan Village, Pekutatan Subdistrict, Jembrana for Rp. 25 million.

"The incident occurred at the beginning of January 2016 ago. At that time the perpetrator met with the victim to seduce the victim to want to invest in his business. At that time the perpetrator to the victim claimed to have a business that had been licensed, "he said Saturday (9/15).

Artha Kumara added that the persuasion of the perpetrators is that the victim is willing to invest in the perpetrators' business. But in reality the perpetrators do not have any business licenses, including SMEs. Furthermore, the investment of the victim by the perpetrator is then rotated or loaned to several residents or customers.

Unfortunately until now the perpetrators have never returned the victim's money, including the promised benefits. It was strongly suspected that there were still other residents who invested in the perpetrators, but had not yet reported. "Our perpetrators are snared by articles 372 and 378 of the Criminal Code, about fraud and embezzlement with a four-year prison sentence," he explained.
