Gowa Police Conclude Investigation, Designate Annar Salahuddin Sampetoding as Suspect in Fake Money Syndicate Case
The Gowa Police have completed their investigation into the involvement of local businessman Annar Salahuddin Sampetoding, alias ASS, in a counterfeit money syndicate operating at UIN Alauddin Makassar, South Sulawesi. The police have designated Annar as a suspect in the case.
"His status is now a suspect," confirmed Gowa Police Chief AKBP Reonald T.S Simanjuntak to journalists on Saturday, December 28, 2024. The police formalized Annar’s status as a suspect earlier today, although AKBP Reonald did not provide details on Annar’s role within the fake money syndicate.
The investigation of Annar Salahuddin Sampetoding spanned over 24 hours before he was officially designated as a suspect. "It’s already been more than 24 hours (since his questioning)," AKBP Reonald confirmed.
AKBP Reonald further disclosed that the details of the case and Annar’s involvement will be officially announced by South Sulawesi Police Chief Irjen Yudhiawan Wibisono on Monday, December 30.
"Kapolda will release an official statement on Monday," AKBP Reonald said.
Earlier reports indicate that Annar Sampetoding had responded to Gowa Police’s summons on Thursday, December 26, and was questioned until 4:00 AM the following morning. Annar had initially skipped a previously scheduled summon on Monday, December 23, leading to another police notice being sent to him.
