Brilio.net - Celebrity Angela Lee is in the public spotlight after being arrested by the police for fraud. She is suspected of committing fraud by selling luxury bags. This case was revealed by Polda Metro Jaya on Thursday, (15/8).
According to a statement from the Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Senior Commissioner of Police Ade Ary Syam Indradi, Angela Lee's status, which was initially a witness, has been increased to a suspect.
"The suspect has been named and detained by investigators from the Jatanras Sub-Directorate in the name of AC alias AL," said Ade Ary as reported by Liputan6.com, Thursday (15/8).
Ade Ary explained that the alleged fraud occurred in 2017. The fraud case began with Angela Lee buying a luxury bag through an intermediary to the victim with the initials FI. Ade said that the payment was made in installments several times.
"At that time the payments were smooth," he said.

Ade explained, because Angela Charle alias Angela Lee's payment was good, she immediately contacted the victim FI to buy a bag with the payment method in installments. It was stated that the luxury bags amounted to 15 units of bags with various brands of Hermes and Louis Vuitton with varying prices.
"There are some 3 times, some 4 times and some 5 times," he explained.
Ade said, Angela Lee started making down payment (DP). However, when the installment payment was stalled.
"The next payment will only be made in 1 installment for 11 bags, 2 installments for 3 bags and 3 installments for 1 bag and for the next installment AC alias AL will no longer make payments," he explained.
Ade Ary said the victim tried to collect the money. However, it did not produce any results. In fact, the bag purchased from the victim was sold again to another party.
"The victim sold several bags to AC alias AL with the payment being made in 3 to 5 installments. However, AC only paid the first installment to FI and the subsequent installments were not paid and were pawned according to the price purchased from the victim," explained Ade.

After being named a suspect, Angela was immediately detained. Angela's investigation files have also been sent to the Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati).
Ade Ary has not yet revealed in detail the legal case that ensnared Angela. However, he revealed that the victim's losses in this case were estimated to reach Rp3.2 billion.
"The loss is Rp. 3.2 billion," he said.
This 37-year-old woman is apparently not the first time she has been arrested. In 2018, she was also caught in a fraud case and languished in prison.
At that time, Angela Lee was also reported to be involved in fraud in the luxury bag business. Not alone, she was imprisoned with her husband David Hardian.
The case began when Angela and her husband received investment funds from the reporter. It turned out that in addition to buying luxury bags, the Rp12.1 billion was also used by Angela to buy her personal needs.
