TEMPO.CO, Indramayu - The Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim) of the Indramayu Police in Indonesia revealed a case of counterfeit money circulation.
The police apprehended a perpetrator and confiscated hundreds of sheets of counterfeit one hundred thousand rupiah notes. "The disclosure of this case began with a report from the public regarding the suspected circulation of counterfeit money in Kebulen Village, Jatibarang District," said AKP Hilal Adi Imawan, the Chief of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Indramayu Police, on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
Following a report from the public on Monday night, the on-duty officers of the Jatibarang Police responded and moved to the location to verify the information.
"From the on-site examination, our officers successfully apprehended a suspected perpetrator along with evidence consisting of 401 sheets of counterfeit one hundred thousand rupiah notes," Hilal stated. Currently, the perpetrator and the evidence are being held at the Jatibarang Police Station.
When asked about the perpetrator's identity, according to Hilal, it is still under verification. "There is suspicion that the perpetrator used a fake identity," said Hilal.
Up to now, the Indramayu Police are still conducting a thorough investigation into this case. This includes uncovering the possible network of the counterfeit money circulation that is suspected to be spread before Eid al-Fitr 2025. "We will continue to develop this case to completely uncover the network of counterfeit money circulation," stated Hilal.
Subsequently, Hillal also urged the public to report to the police if they find suspicious money. "We also advise the public to be vigilant and careful in accepting money, especially approaching Eid al-Fitr 2025," added Hilal. (Ivansyah)
