The Central Jakarta Police have arrested a suspect named Ghisca Debora in a Coldplay concert ticket scam case that allegedly caused Rp 5.1 billion (US$331,589) in losses to victims.

 

People who purchased the tickets said Ghisca claimed to personally know the promoter and have access to tickets.

 

Central Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Susatyo Purnomo Chandra said the police had investigated the claims and apprehended the suspect based on five reports from six alleged victims of the ticket fraud.

 

"On Friday […] we named GDA [Ghisca] a suspect. We have had her detained since Friday," said Susatyo in a press conference on Monday.
