Director of Cyber Crime at North Sumatra Provincial Police,\nCommissioner Pol Bayu Wicaksono, stated that the uncovering was divided\ninto two cases based on police reports handled by investigators.<\/p>\n
From the developments, the suspects were known to conduct online\ngambling promotion and operational activities from several rooms in the\nsame apartment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to convey that the uncovering of this case is divided into\ntwo cases. From this uncovering, a total of 19 suspects have been\nsecured and detained,\u201d said Bayu at the North Sumatra Provincial Police,\nThursday (26\/3).<\/p>\n
He mentioned that at the first location, namely Room 705 of the Royal\nMediterranean Apartment, police arrested 8 suspects. They had various\nroles, from leader, OTP and link checking, telemarketing, to content\noperators or endorsers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspect with initials TL had the most dominant role at the first\nlocation. TL had a higher role compared to the other 7 people. So, at\nthis first crime scene, the leader is Mr TL,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at the second crime scene, namely Room 601 and Room 1005,\npolice arrested 11 suspects. From the investigation results, the main\nrole at this location was held by the suspect with initials BH, who was\nreferred to as the leader or supervisor as well as the party who\nrecruited the other perpetrators.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom these two crime scenes, the leader is the same and has admitted\nthat besides being the leader, he also recruited other perpetrators,\nnamely with initials BH,\u201d said Bayu.<\/p>\n
The activity had been running for approximately two years. Although\nthe suspects\u2019 activities were quite secretive and used technological\nsupport to obscure their activities, the police finally succeeded in\nuncovering the network thanks to public information and intensive\ninvestigations.<\/p>\n
\u201cCase developments are still ongoing to delve into the possibility of\nbroader network involvement, including possible relations with foreign\nnetworks or other parties suspected of supporting the online gambling\noperations,\u201d he explained.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/police-raid-cambodian-online-gambling-headquarters-in-medan-19-people-arrested-1774522283", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
