The National Police said Tuesday they have traced the money raised through a bogus investment scheme allegedly involving securities company PT Antaboga Delta Sekuritas and Bank Century was in Europe.
"The money went to Europe. I have the account number," said the National Police's head of the criminal investigation unit Comr. Gen. Susno Duaji, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
"We are investigating how much money has been left in the account," Susno added.
The police have named three Antaboga executives as suspects for allegedly embezzling up to Rp 300 billion (US$27 million) by offering a bogus investment product which was sold through Century.
The suspects, Antaboga chief commissioner Hendro Wiyanto and directors Hartawan Alwi and Anton Tantular, are still at large.
The fraud case came to light during an investigation into misuse of the bank's assets for personal purposes, which damaged the bank's liquidity and led to the government taking over the bank. (dre)
