A follow up to - ATM Scam Busted in BaliThe national police have released yet another information about the banking fraud that cost hundreds of customers in Indonesia billions of rupiahs as if choosing to slowly raise the veil of the case amid enormous pressure on President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's administration in the beginning of its second term.
Spokesman for the National Police Inspector General Edward Aritonang revealed on Wednesday (3/2) that the detained bank executive is working at Indonesia's biggest private bank, Bank Central Asia.
The information was released two days after police announced on Monday that it has, for several days, detained an executive of a bank.
The bank confirmed the information several hours after Ins. Gen Edward's statement.
Vice Director of Bank central Asia Jahja Setiaatmadja said the suspect is a supervisor at one of the bank's branch in Bandung, West Java.
Report of lost funds emerged initially in Bali last month by customers of the Bank Central Asia, followed strings of complaints from customers of other banks including Bank Mandiri, Bank Negara Indonesia, Bank rakyat Indonesia, Bank Internasional Indonesia, and Bank Permata.
Ins. Gen. Edward however said police have yet to discover the link of the detained Bank Central Asia's staff with the lost funds, as he indicated that the unnamed staff is involved in credit card fraud.
