00:00One more thing I would like to update you about.
00:03Many of our media colleagues have asked about the case of Gawai Bank
00:07which has taken its own life.
00:13The result of the fraud against the bank is 2.4 million rupiah.
00:19For a more accurate figure,
00:22we have traced the amount of money that has been slaved
00:28through fixed deposit
00:32which is 2,437,526.85 ringgit
00:40which has been transferred to 11 accounts
00:46from 14th February, 2023 to 24th June, 2024
00:55with a total of 108 transactions.
01:02This is from 3 fixed deposit accounts
01:08involving one person,
01:10another one with his wife,
01:12and also with his child.
01:14So, 3 fixed deposit accounts.
01:18These 3 accounts involve 2.4 million rupiah.
01:24The depositor was 69 years old.
01:28On 5th July,
01:32he realized that his money had been withdrawn
01:38and was informed that he had gone to the bank.
01:42Later that afternoon,
01:44a woman, a creditor at the bank,
01:47had taken her own life.
01:49So, that is his story.
01:51Many of our media colleagues have asked
01:56whether this case is still being investigated
02:00because the suspect has passed away.
02:03Yes, we have continued to investigate
02:06especially because of the proceedings
02:08and the results of the investigation need to be confirmed.
