Yasmin said that Dwi Rahayu came with a tempting offer to invest in building a rest area in the YIA Airport area. Even though she initially refused, pressure from her wife, who was influenced by Dwi Rahayu's advances, made Yasmin finally get caught in the fraud scheme.[1]

Yasmin, who is a former teacher, also only received the remaining salary of around IDR 400 thousand instead of IDR 4 million. "I only received 10 percent of my IDR 4.5 million salary, now I only receive IDR 450 thousand," said Yasmin. Although hope was raised when the pension portion increased to IDR 750 thousand per month in January 2025, this amount is still far from enough to meet the living needs of an elderly person.[2]

The victim of Dwi Rahayu's fraud was not only Yasmin Istono. Many other retirees, including Ngatinem from Kulonprogo, experienced the same thing. Based on the data collected, more than 100 retired TNI (Indonesian National Army), Polri (National Police), teachers, civil servants and widows have become victims of the Persit (Army Wives Association) elements, with total losses reaching IDR 26.7 billion.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Indonesia now officially has Pegadaian Gold Bank Services and Indonesian Sharia Bank, which were inaugurated directly by President Prabowo Subianto at The Gade Tower, Jakarta, on Wednesday, February 26 2025. This inauguration is a historic moment for national gold management, in line with the increase in Indonesia's gold production which has now reached 160 tons per year. "Today, approaching 80 years of our independence, we are proud that for the first time in the history of the Indonesian nation, which has the sixth largest gold reserves in the world, it will have a gold bank for the first time," said President Prabowo in his speech. This gold bank service is expected to accelerate people's gold savings, increase the country's gold reserves, and strengthen monetary stability. According to the President, this step will increase Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by IDR 245 trillion, open 1.8 million new jobs, and save the country's foreign exchange by ensuring that gold is processed and stored domestically. "We hope this will accelerate savings and increase our gold reserves," said the President.[1]

Apart from that, the presence of gold banking services will also support the gold liquidation mechanism for national banks and make domestic gold transactions easier. President Prabowo believes this policy will strengthen the national economic structure and increase Indonesia's financial independence. President Prabowo also emphasized that this inauguration was the result of hard work by various parties over many years. President Prabowo also appreciated the hard work of all parties involved in creating the first gold bank in Indonesia. “I would like to thank all the elements who have worked hard. My appreciation goes to the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, the Minister of BUMN, all directors of Himbara banks, directors of Pegadaian, Bank Syariah Indonesia and all those who have worked hard so that today we have a service ecosystem for the Pegadaian gold bank and Bank Syariah Indonesia, which is the first gold bank in our republic," said the President.[2]

With the inauguration of the Pegadaian Gold Bank and Indonesian Sharia Bank Services, Indonesia has further strengthened its position as one of the countries with the largest gold management in the world, while strengthening national economic sovereignty. Also present at the event were ambassadors from friendly countries, Red and White Cabinet Ministers, TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, BI Governor Perry Warjiyo, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Mahendra Siregar, President Director of PT. Pegadaian Damar Latri Setiawan, President Director of PT. Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk. Hery Gunardi, and President Director of Bank Rakyat Indonesia Sunarso.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
