"We are simply waiting for the hearing to take place," Bagas remarked at the National Police Headquarters on Wednesday (11/11/2026).

Bagas visited the National Police Headquarters to seek confirmation on the follow-up to their report.

He stated that they have received a notification letter regarding the results of the Propam investigation.

According to Bagas, the latest information indicates that the case file is awaiting a recommendation from the Legal Division (Divkum) of the National Police for the appointment of an ethics committee.

"The latest information we received is that the file is waiting for a recommendation from Divkum to promptly appoint an ethics committee. Of course, we are also waiting for this," he explained.

Criminal investigation has commenced

Bagas further explained that they have received a Notification of Development Results (SP2HP2) from Propam, as well as a Notification of Commencement of Investigation (SPDP).

“We have received the SPDP, the notification letter for the commencement of investigation, and the notification letter regarding the results of the Propam investigation,” Bagas said.

The Malaysian citizen reported Kombes Fahrurozi, a mid-ranking officer in the police force, over allegations of fraud and embezzlement related to a gold investment scheme in North Sulawesi.

The report was registered with the number LP/B/379/VII/2026/SPKT/BARESKRIM POLRI dated August 20, 2026.

Kombes Pol Fahrurozi's Clarification

Kombes Pol Fahrurozi, through his legal representative, Fransisca Indrasari, clarified the allegations made by the Malaysian citizen identified as S bin AS concerning fraud and embezzlement related to the gold investment scheme in North Sulawesi.

Fransisca stated that Fahrurozi detected discrepancies in the mining provisions referenced by S.

The foreign national then requested Fahrurozi's bank account number and stated he would send an amount of 1 million US dollars.

Skeptical, Fahrurozi sought information about this individual.

From this investigation, Fransisca indicated, it was revealed that the foreign national is an Indian citizen who allegedly committed similar frauds in Thailand.

"Subsequently, our client profiled S and BY and found that both are involved in the Eurobit Indonesia Ponzi scheme investment," Fransisca said.

This information was then relayed to the Cyber Crime Directorate of the National Police. According to Fransisca, a letter of inquiry was subsequently issued.

Fransisca also mentioned that a police report has been filed in Bali concerning allegations of investment fraud via the Eurobit Indonesia Ponzi scheme.

In that report, S and BY are named as suspects, with total losses amounting to 19 billion rupiah. In addition to Bali, Fransisca noted that similar modes of fraud have targeted various other regions, including Semarang, Surabaya, Medan, and Kalimantan.
