"Dream - Jakarta State University (UNJ) takes legal action after its students are suspected to be victims of Human Trafficking (TPPO) fraud in the International Internship Program in Germany. There are 93 UNJ students who have become victims of the program. 'UNJ will take legal steps to report material and immaterial losses committed by SS, PT. SHB, and CV-Gen,' said Edura UNJ Secretary, Syaifudin, as quoted from Merdeka.com, Wednesday, March 27, 2024."
According to him, this incident serves as a lesson for higher education institutions in Indonesia to be more vigilant. "We also emphasize here that UNJ has no institutional connection with SS, PT. SHB, and CV-Gen," he said.
"Students Return Safely"
"He ensured that all UNJ students who became victims have been repatriated to Indonesia in good health. "On December 30, 2023, all UNJ students were repatriated to Indonesia in good health and did not experience any physical violence during their internship in Germany," he said."
"Timeline"
Initially, in February 2023, the suspect SS, who is a lecturer at one of the universities in Jambi Province, came to UNJ to offer an International Internship Program to Germany. On May 6, 2023, SS presented the program by inviting and introducing PT. SHB and CV-Gen.
During the presentation, SS, PT. SHB, and CV-Gen convinced UNJ that PT. SHB is a legally established company based on AHU-02200096.AH.11 number in 2021. It is also mentioned that this program is recognized by the Indonesian and German governments.
"Independent Cost"
On the guarantee of PT. SHB, UNJ continues the offer of the International Internship Program in Germany. This internship is self-funded by interested student participants. "UNJ itself does not have a special budget allocation for the International Internship Program activities. Therefore, in the socialization to UNJ students, according to information from SS and PT. SHB, this International Internship Program in Germany is self-funded by interested participants," he explained.
The registration fee is Rp150,000 which is transferred to the account under the name CV-Gen and 350 Euros equivalent to Rp5.5 million - Rp6 million. With details, 150 Euros for the creation of the Letter of Acceptance (LoA) to PT. SHB. After the LoA is issued, students must pay 200 Euros to PT. SHB for the creation of German authority approval (working permit) and the issuance of the letter for one to two months.
"Meanwhile, the management of visas, plane tickets, accommodation, and daily needs during the stay in Germany will be borne by each student participant, and this has been known by the students," he explained.
"Getting Internship Honor"
SS and PT. SHB mentioned that students who intern in Germany will receive an honorarium ranging from Rp20 million to Rp30 million rupiah. However, if there are students with financial limitations, UNJ seeks assistance by providing a loan scheme from the UNJ Cooperative to students amounting to Rp24 million per student. There are 83 students who have been granted loans by the UNJ Cooperative.
After a few weeks in Germany, students complained about the internship location and inadequate salary. Until the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research and Technology and the Indonesian Embassy in Berlin stated that the implementation of the Ferienjob program managed by PT. SHB and CV-Gen indicated procedural violations. "Urging Higher Education Institutions in Indonesia to stop participating in the Ferienjob program, both ongoing and future ones," he said.
"Not an Internship Program"
"On November 3, 2023, the UNJ lecturer team conducted an audience with the Indonesian Embassy in Berlin. "From this audience, it was obtained information that according to the Indonesian Embassy in Berlin, this program is not an internship but rather work," he said."
"Ditetapkan Lima Tersangka" translates to "Five Suspects Appointed"
The case was revealed when the Bareskrim Polri at the KBRI Germany received complaints from four students participating in the ferienjob program in Germany. This program involves 33 universities in Indonesia sending students to Germany. At least 1,047 students were sent by PT Cvgen and PT SHB. There are currently a total of five suspects: ER alias EW (39), A alias AE (37), both of whom are currently in Germany, as well as a man with the initials SS (65), MZ (60), and a woman with the initials AJ (52) who have been designated as suspects.
