AKARTA: The National Police have discovered that the suspect in the Citibank embezzlement, Inong Melinda, also known as Melinda Dee, siphoned the money she stole from the bank’s customers into eight accounts.

Two are registered under her name.

“We are still investigating who the other accounts belong to. No accounts are in Andhika Gumilang’s name [Melinda Dee’s actor husband],” National Police spokesman Ins. Gen. Anton Bachrul Alam said.

Anton added that the police were questioning 16 witnesses, including three new ones, to investigate Melinda’s transactions.

The new witnesses are a commissioner in a company where Melinda provided banking services, Melinda’s secretary and a Citibank employee.

“However, the Citibank branch head has not been questioned,” he said as reported by kompas.com.

Melinda allegedly abused her position as a client relations manager at Citibank to amass a wealth of Rp. 17 billion (US$ 2 million), embezzled from customers’ accounts.

A teller allegedly acted as her accomplice. The suspect is currently under city arrest. —JP
