SERAMBINEWS.COM, JAKARTA – The Cyber Crimes Directorate of the National Criminal Investigation Police has arrested four perpetrators of alleged online fraud on Instagram.
One of the victims was President Joko Widodo’s youngest son, Kaesang Pangarep.
The head of the Public Information Office (Karopenmas), the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Brigadier General (Pol) Awi Setiyono, said that the four perpetrators were minors. “Investigators found four suspects, (namely) AF, GR, MR, DFY.
On average these children are minors, between 15 and 16 years old, “Awi said at the Bareskrim building in South Jakarta on Friday (9/18/2020).
The case began with a police report under number LP / A / 508 / IX / 2020 / Bareskrim dated September 8, 2020.
The authorities then carried out the profiling and found an @luckycatsauction account on Instagram that was auctioning “branded” items.
The victim who made the transaction sent money to an account that police said was an escrow account.
However, the goods paid for have never been accepted by the victim.
After verifying ownership of the accounts, the police discovered that the accounts were controlled by the four suspects located in Aceh and Medan.
Awi said the four met in cyberspace.
