Recently, the police criminal investigation department announced a significant breakthrough, successfully dismantling a massive online gambling network operated by Chinese citizens, involving an astonishing turnover of 685 billion Indonesian Rupiah. According to Himawan Bayu Aji, the head of the police cybercrime unit, this major operation was launched on October 1st with a swift and precise strike against the illegal activities of this transnational gambling group.
Major General Himawan pointed out that the group used Indonesian bank accounts for deposits and withdrawals, employing covert methods, but ultimately could not escape the law.
Currently, the police have initiated an in-depth investigation into 27 key individuals involved in the case, 14 witnesses, and 6 experts, aiming to fully expose their criminal network and lay a solid foundation for subsequent legal proceedings.
"We are gradually clarifying the full picture and details of the case based on the results of the investigation, and the investigative work is proceeding intensively," he emphasized.
As the investigation deepens, the police have identified and designated 7 suspects, including one foreign national and six Indonesian citizens, all suspected of having direct connections with the illegal operations of this transnational gambling group.
This operation not only demonstrates the police's determination and capability to combat cybercrime but also contributes significantly to maintaining national financial order and social stability.
