The\nstatement was made during a meeting between victims and the alleged\nperpetrator at the East Jakarta Metropolitan Police headquarters. A\nvideo of the meeting was uploaded by the East Jakarta Metropolitan\nPolice Chief\u2019s personal TikTok account, <span class=\"citation\" data-cites=\"alfiannurrizal.id\">@alfiannurrizal.id<\/span>, as reported by\nKompas.com on Sunday (31 May 2026). Victims demanded accountability for\ntheir losses. One victim stressed that the primary concern was the\nreturn of their rightful claims. \u2018We demand accountability. That\u2019s the\nmain point,\u2019 said a victim. In response, the woman suspected of being\nthe Marwah WO owner presented her defence. \u2018We want to explain our\nsituation because we are also the victims,\u2019 she said. Her statement\nprovoked reactions from some victims present, but Alfian urged them to\nlisten to further explanations. \u2018Answer first. Answer first,\u2019 Alfian\nsaid. \u2018If I\u2019m not jailed, I\u2019ll work to compensate within six months.\nInsha\u2019Allah. If Marwah goes bankrupt, I can build something else,\u2019 she\nadded. At the same time, Alfian explained why the police arranged the\nmeeting between victims and the alleged perpetrator. \u2018Everyone wants to\nknow. If we didn\u2019t arrange this meeting, people might think the police\naren\u2019t helping with assets, guarantees, accountability, and refunding\nmoney. That\u2019s why I\u2019m sharing this directly. This is our transparency,\u2019\nAlfian said.<\/p>",
