Indonesian Immigration Detains 321 Foreign Nationals Over Online Gambling
Indonesian officials have detained more than 300 foreign nationals in Jakarta for allegedly operating an online gambling ring. Gambling is illegal in Indonesia, according to the source. The scam project, which arrived in Indonesia two months ago, targeted individuals outside the country. Online gambling is banned in Muslim-majority Indonesia and can carry a sentence of up to nine years. Investigators seized several hard disks and mobile devices as part of the ongoing probe into the international online gambling ponzi scheme. Indonesian authorities have intensified their crackdown on cyber scam operations, arresting another group of 200 people on Friday, with many from Malaysia, Cambodia, and Laos. This follows the arrest of over 200 people earlier this week, predominantly from Vietnam, in operations suspected to involve online gambling and cyber scams.
