        "summary": "The Indonesian Ministry of Immigration and Corrections (Kemenimipas) has pledged to increase vigilance against online gambling and scamming operations involving foreign nationals within the country. Minister Agus Andrianto highlighted ongoing collaborations with other ministries, police, and the military to strengthen oversight and protect national sovereignty amid rising digital threats. He linked the issue to visa-free policies allowing easy entry, particularly as syndicates flee crackdowns in neighbouring countries like Cambodia.",
        "content": "<p>Bandarlampung, Lampung - The Ministry of Immigration and Corrections\n(Kemenimipas) has affirmed that it will enhance vigilance against online\ngambling (judol) and scamming networks involving foreign nationals\n(WNA). \u201cOf course, we will and must increase vigilance against suspected\njudol or scamming networks whose perpetrators are foreigners present in\nIndonesia,\u201d said Minister of Imipas Agus Andrianto in Bandarlampung,\nLampung, on Monday. He stated that as part of tightening supervision,\nKemenimipas continues to collaborate with relevant ministries and\ninstitutions as well as police and TNI ranks to provide protection and\nstate sovereignty. \u201cSupervision of online gambling and international\nscamming perpetrator networks will continue to be tightened.\nCross-ministry and institutional collaboration will also be strengthened\nto safeguard public security from digital crime threats,\u201d he said. He\nsuspects that the perpetrators (WNA) of the judol and scamming\nsyndicates are individuals who can enter and exit freely through\nvisa-free policies. \u201cThese are people with visa-free access. Even\ncitizens from ASEAN countries also enjoy visa-free facilities. However,\nthe impact of implementing this visa-free regime can indeed create\nconditions like those happening now,\u201d he said. Moreover, he added, in\nCambodia there are currently many raid activities, so the syndicates are\nlikely seeking other places to operate freely. \u201cThey are in Indonesia\nfor one or two months. The ones in Hayam Wuruk (West Jakarta) have only\nbeen here for two months; in Kepri we arrested 210 judol syndicate\nmembers just one month ago, and in Tangerang 15 people were also\narrested recently. So, we remain focused. We are not negligent as we are\nalso conducting supervision activities,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
