A suspected case of partnership investment fund embezzlement has re-emerged in Pekanbaru. This time, an employee within the Secretariat of the Regional Legislative Council (Sekwan DPRD) of Riau Province, identified as Popy, is accused of running away with funds belonging to dozens of business partners, with estimated losses reaching hundreds of millions of rupiah.
One of the suspect's business partners, identified by the initials Is, revealed that the partnership initially started based on mutual trust. The partnership, which operated in the document processing sector, had been established for quite some time, specifically since the suspect was still working as a cashier at the Samsat Office on Jalan Gajah Mada, Pekanbaru.
However, the situation changed drastically after the suspect transferred to the Riau DPRD Secretariat. Is mentioned that Popy became difficult to meet and only gave empty promises without any clarity regarding the return of the working capital. Due to the lack of good faith, dozens of victims who suffered a similar fate finally agreed to take the case to court in the near future.
To date, efforts have been made to obtain confirmation from the Secretary of the Riau Provincial DPRD, Renaldi, to clarify the suspect's employment status and the response of the related institution to this case. Nevertheless, no official response has been provided by the Secretariat or by Popy as the reported party.
