Indonesian Police Bust Illegal Covid-19 Vaccine Ring in North Sumatra Province

Panca said IW reiterated her under questioning. “IW admitted that he got the vaccines from his colleague SH after he filed the request. While he admitted to carrying out illegal vaccination drives in Jakarta, he has yet to name his accomplices in his activities there,” he said.

Panca asserted that the four made Rp. 271,250,000 [$18,879.14] over the past month, before the police shut down their illegal operation. “IW received Rp. 238,700,000 [$16,613.64] in the racket, while SW received her cut of Rp. 32,550,000 [$2,265.50].”

“The figures are proportionally based on their cut per dosage. IW has taken Rp. 220 thousand per dosage, while SW earned Rp. 30 thousand,” Panca said. “They even gave the recipients of thre illegal vaccinations a vaccine certificate.”

Panca assured the public not to worry about the vaccines, as they are available free of charge.

The busting of the illegal vaccinations comes a month, after investigators arrested five people from the Kimia Farma Diagnostika pharmaceutical company in North Sumatra’s Kualanamu Airport for reusing used test kits.
