During the operation, police arrested 320 foreign nationals\n(WNA) and one Indonesian citizen (WNI).<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung has commended the exposure of the\nonline gambling practice in his region. He assured that the Jakarta\nProvincial Government (Pemprov) will provide the necessary support to\nthe police in handling the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe DKI Jakarta Government fully supports the firm actions taken by\nlaw enforcement authorities, particularly the police, to conduct the\nraid and subsequent seizures,\u201d he said at Jakarta City Hall on Wednesday\n(13\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Pramono also requested that the police thoroughly investigate the\ncase to all involved parties. According to him, the perpetrators\ninvolved must also be processed legally in accordance with applicable\nregulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully, this action is not half-hearted, so that it can create a\ndeterrent effect for anyone who intends to engage in online gambling in\nJakarta,\u201d Pramono stated.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, Member of Commission A of the Jakarta Provincial DPRD,\nKevin Wu, assessed the exposure as a stern warning for the Jakarta\nProvincial Government. According to him, the case is not merely about\nonline gambling, but concerns city security, foreign oversight, building\ngovernance, and cross-border cybercrime.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJakarta is talking big about being a global city, but a global city\nmust not become a safe haven for international syndicates to run illegal\nbusinesses. Do not let legal office buildings in Jakarta be used as\ndigital crime factories,\u201d he said on Monday (11\/9\/2026).<\/p>",
