Businessman reported to police

DEPOK: A businesswoman, Vivi Enni Purwati, 31, reported on
Thursday a businessman, Pandiarsa Jiwa, to the police for alleged
embezzlement of at least Rp 132 million (US$15,530).

Pandiarsa was the director of International Service Firm (ISF)
-- a company organizing the dispatch of migrant workers abroad,
especially to Hong Kong, the Republic of China and South Korea --
while Vivi was a broker who helped introduce would-be migrant
workers to the company.

In July, 11 prospective migrant workers from Depok transferred
Rp 132 million rupiah to Pandiarsa's bank account and paid
another Rp 66 million in cash. Pandiarsa promised to send them to
the destination countries after each had paid Rp 18 million to
him. Pandiarsa promised that they would depart one month after
the payment.

However, as of today, there has been no response from
Pandiarsa. Vivi and the workers also do not know of his
whereabouts.

An officer from Depok Police said police were still searching
for Pandiarsa to investigate the matter further. -- JP
