This year, the alleged fraud case involved the purchase of Covid-19 equipment. Besides the Dutch citizens, other victims comprised the Italian and German nationals, who lost 58 billion rupiahs ($4.1 million) and 10 billion rupiahs ($710,000), respectively.
The investigators have seized more than half of the total losses. “The total losses from a series of crimes reached about 276 billion rupiahs ($19.5 million) and we have managed to confiscate 141 billion rupiahs ($10 million),” Listyo said.
