Indonesian actress Diana Pungky has filed a police report against her former assistant, according to CNN Indonesia. The report was filed following allegations that the assistant misappropriated funds over a nine-year period.
CNN Indonesia reports that Pungky's lawyer has disclosed the trigger behind the legal action. The lawyer said the decision to report the former assistant to police came after the alleged financial misconduct came to light.
Multiple Indonesian outlets have covered the case, with reports indicating the alleged losses are substantial. According to celebrity.okezone.com, the former assistant is accused of siphoning approximately Rp25 billion from Pungky's finances over nine years. DetikHOT reports that Pungky suffered losses of around Rp10 billion from transactions totaling Rp25 billion.
Kompas.com reports that police have examined four witnesses in connection with the case. The investigation is ongoing as authorities look into the alleged scheme.
The case highlights the risks that can arise in personal employment relationships, particularly when individuals are entrusted with significant financial responsibilities. The alleged misconduct reportedly spanned nearly a decade before being detected.
Pungky, known for her work in Indonesian film and television, has not publicly commented on the case beyond the legal filing, according to available reports.
The police investigation is expected to continue, with further witness examinations likely. The outcome of the case will depend on the evidence gathered by authorities.
