Jakarta – Officers from the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate (Ditreskrimsus) Polda Metro Jaya have arrested two suspects for fraudulent services (jastip) selling Coldplay concert tickets through online media. The two suspects carried out their actions via the @fintrove_id account.
“The two suspects are a married couple with the initials ABF (male) and W (female). Both were arrested based on the results of the investigation conducted,” explained the Director of the Special Criminal Investigation Unit (Dirreskrimsus) Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Pol Auliansyah Lubis during a press conference at the Polda Metro Jaya Headquarters, Monday, (22/5) yesterday.
He continued, the two suspects chose the account or website because of the large number of followers. Then, from that account, they opened an open jastip war ticket service for Coldplay Music of The Sphere in Jakarta.
They conveyed that it was as if this website had sold concert tickets before and was successful. They also deliberately made comments as if the jastip was genuine,” said Auliansyah.
“So that it attracts people who look on Twitter to buy Coldplay concert tickets,” he continued again.
The two suspects are currently being detained and charged under Article 28 paragraph (1) of the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE) junto Article 45 A Paragraph (1) of Law Number 19 of 2016 concerning amendments to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning ITE and or Article 378 of the Criminal Code and or Article 3, Article 4, Article 5 of the TPPU Law.
