Jakarta – Investigators from the Jatanras Sub-Directorate of the Ditreskrimum Polda Metro Jaya will seize digital evidence owned and used by the twins, Rihana and Rihani, suspected of fraud as iPhone resellers with a loss of IDR 35 billion. The digital evidence that was confiscated was their social media accounts such as Instagram
This step was taken because of their deceptive actions, which always promote the fictitious business of buying and selling iPhones through social media accounts.
“Regarding the evidence in the form of digital objects, we will coordinate with the PMJ Ditreskrimsus for the confiscation process,” said Head of Unit 4 of the Jatanras Sub-Directorate for the Metro Jaya Regional Police, Kompol Reza Mahendra, to journalists, Thursday, (6/7).
He conveyed, the twins Rihana and Rihani used their Instagram social media to capture victims. They are offering iPhones at low prices. They also claim to be distributors, even though they only buy iPhones from other stores.
“The person concerned is RA (Rihana) posting on social media Instagram. With a fairly attractive price, he finally offered it to the reseller,” Kompol Reza said.
“After getting it, he immediately said that he was part of this distributor. In fact, he bought at outlets where we visited stores, such as those at ITC and others,” he continued.
The twins Rihana and Rihani have been detained at Polda Metro Jaya. They are charged with Article 378 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 372 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 64 of the Criminal Code. Not only that, both of them were also charged with Article ITE Law for promoting their business through social media. Bembo
