Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Jakarta Metropolitan Police personnel has arrested a people`s smuggler from Uzbekistan, Salim Mustafa alias Theodoros Ioannis alias Musaev Samir, listed as Interpol`s wanted people (DPO).

"He was involved in kidnapping, blackmailing and attacking an Ukrainian woman," Metro Jaya Police Public Relations Head Senior Commissioner Rikwanto said in Jakarta Monday.

Rikwanto said Musaev Samir`s arrest was thanks to a report from Nadya Dobosh, a victim of kidnapping, distortion and manhandling.

At first Nadya who was Musaev`s boyfriend was forced at Starbuck parking lot at Jalan Raya Hayam Wuruk, West Jakarta Barat, on Thursday (June 7).

Rikwanto said the suspect forced the victim to Hotel Putri Duyung, North Jakarta.

Samir has been on the wanted list (DPO) of Interpol since August 21, 2009, the chief of the sub-directorate general of the Directorate of Crime Investigation, Adjunct Senior Commissioner Helmy Santika said.

Samir was strongly suspected of involvement in smuggling and trading of people, as well as document falsification in Uzbekistan.

"He has been wanted by 190 different countries for people`s trading," Helmy said.

With regard to the motive of the perpetrator to run away Nadya Dobosh, Helmy said Musaev has asked his ex lover to quit working as a disc jockey with a payment of 1,000 US dollars.

The police managed to confiscate the victim`s passport, the perpetrator`s passport (one of Samir`s fake passports from Bulgaria), the perpetrator`s identification card (KTP) from Jatinegara sub-district, East Jakarta, a Land Rover, communication equipment and some cash.
