Ukrainian Woman Arrested in Bali for Rp 325 Million ATM Burglary

jpnn.com, BALI - The Bali Police arrested a woman from Ukraine named Baklanova Khrystyna (33), the perpetrator of the illegal ATM burglary worth Rp 325.6 million.

Bali Police criminal investigation director Senior Commissioner Ary Satriyan said the suspect's role was only to take the money.

"This suspect is a Ukrainian citizen. This is actually similar to skimming, but she only took the money. We are still trying to look for the skimmer," said Ary at a press conference at the Bali Police Headquarters, Thursday.

He said that the suspect illegally transferred money belonging to bank customers to virtual accounts.

The transaction was carried out using a magnetic card obtained from someone named Mister.

He stated that there were two people from Bau Bau, Southeast Sulawesi, who were victims of this incident, namely Nur Hayati and Marda.

On Wednesday (1/12), Nur Hayati and Marda reported to the bank that they had not made any transactions, but the amount of money in their accounts had decreased.

"From there, there were irregularities in the transaction in Bali. So, the customers were in Southeast Sulawesi, the suspect took it in Bali," Ary said.
