etectives in North Sumatra have secured the assets belonging to a former sub-branch manager of state-owned lender Bank BNI in Aek Nabara, Labuhanbatu regency, who is suspected of embezzling Rp 28 billion (US$1.62 million) from St. Fransiscus Asisi Catholic church parish credit union.
North Sumatra Police chief spokesman Sr. Comr. Ferry Walintukan said the assets of suspect Andi Hakim Febriansyah were being secured, including a house and other assets believed to be linked to the embezzlement case.
He said the assets had not yet been officially confiscated pending a court ruling.
“Detectives have secured the suspect’s assets but to confiscate them must follow legal mechanisms,” he said on Tuesday.
“We must ensure there is a direct connection between the secured assets and the crime.”
Ferry added that based on results of the investigation conducted by North Sumatra Police detectives, suspect Hakim embezzled the parish credit union funds for his personal expenses and those of his wife, Camelia Rosa.
North Sumatra Police named Hakim a suspect on March 13 in the embezzlement of Rp 28 billion from the parish credit union. Hakim, however, had fled to Australia on Feb. 28, just days before detectives were due to question him.
