Seputarkarawang.com - Karawang, Allegations of fraudulent investment practices carried out by husband and wife couple, Anisa Sity Herlina and Muhammad Rozy, have now emerged to the public. The couple, who live in the Bumi Margasari Permai Housing Complex, Karawang, is accused of defrauding dozens of residents using various fictitious business methods. The victims' attorney, Daryani, S.H. and Lilik Adi Gunawan, S.H., revealed that one of the alleged perpetrators was an employee of PT Astra Isuzu Casting Center Karawang.According to the attorney's statement, this practice has been going on for quite a long time by offering various types of investments that promise tempting profits. The methods used range from investing in rice and sticky rice commodities, supplying clothes bearing the name Matahari Department Store (MDS), to new money exchange services (UB) for Eid al-Fitr 2026 needs.However, these sweet promises have never been realized, either in the form of capital returns or profit sharing.
So far, the number of victims identified has reached around 15 people, the majority of whom are neighbors of the perpetrator at the Bumi Margasari Permai Housing Complex and residents from outside the city. The victims admitted that they felt trapped because until after Eid, the money they had deposited had not been returned. The lack of good faith on the part of the married couple to prove investment realization further strengthens the suspicion of systematic fraudulent practices.Legally, if this series of lies is proven, the perpetrators can be charged under Article 378 of the Criminal Code concerning Fraud and articles related to embezzlement. Considering the large number of victims and significant losses, legal action is considered the only way to obtain justice. This case is a strong warning for Karawang residents not to be easily tempted into investing in schemes that are not transparent and do not have clear legality.Feeling materially and immaterially disadvantaged, the victims in the near future plan to go to the Karawang Police to make a collective official report. This effort was made so that the police could immediately follow up on the case and prevent new victims in the Karawang area.
