Honorary Teacher in Kuningan Shocked as Identity is Hijacked to Purchase Ferrari

An honorary teacher in Kuningan Regency, West Java, Rizal Nurdimansyah (39), has reported an alleged misuse of his personal identity to the local police after his name appeared as the buyer of a luxury Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta worth billions of rupiah. Rizal stated that the report was submitted to the Kuningan Police Resort on Thursday (16/4), after confirming the vehicle’s data under his name at the local Samsat office. “First of all, this might constitute misuse of identity used for purchasing the Ferrari. I hope this incident does not happen again to the people of Kuningan,” Rizal said when contacted in Kuningan on Thursday (16/4) night. He admitted to being worried about bearing the burden of taxes on a vehicle of such high value, even though he never made the purchase. Rizal explained that the incident began on 2 April 2026, when he received a call from an unknown person requesting his ID data for vehicle purchase purposes. Rizal refused the request. However, a few days later, Rizal said he received information from a village official on Monday (13/4) that his name was listed in the luxury vehicle purchase transaction. To verify the information, Rizal visited the Samsat office and checked using his population registration number (NIK). “The result was indeed true; there were three vehicles, two cars and one motorcycle. One of them was the Ferrari, which is not mine,” he said. He admitted to being shocked and immediately took steps to block the vehicle data to avoid further risks. “I blocked it through the application after being directed by the officer, because it is not mine,” he stated. Besides the tax risk, Rizal is also concerned about potential legal implications if the vehicle is used for illegal activities. He emphasised that he never made a statement letter or provided personal data for that transaction. The Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of Kuningan Police Resort, Iptu Abdul Aziz, confirmed the report received that day and stated that the case is being handled. He added that based on the initial report, the case is suspected to be related to the criminal act of identity forgery, which is currently under further investigation by the detectives. “The complainant has come and made a report; next, we will carry out the investigation process,” he said.
