        "summary": "Indonesian police have seized Rp1.9 billion in cash, along with foreign currencies worth millions, from an international online gambling operation uncovered in a Jakarta office building, leading to the arrest of 321 foreign nationals, 275 of whom have been named suspects. The operation, run by foreigners aware of their role in the illicit activity, is believed to be purely operational with no ties to higher-level masterminds yet identified, prompting further investigations into fund flows, servers, and sponsors. Authorities plan to collaborate with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) and the Ministry of Immigration to deepen the probe and target the gambling syndicate's leaders.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Criminal Investigation Agency of the\nIndonesian National Police (Bareskrim Polri) has seized cash amounting\nto Rp1.9 billion from the bust of an international online gambling crime\ncase in the Hayam Wuruk office area, Jakarta.<\/p>\n<p>Director of General Crimes at Bareskrim Polri, Brigadier General of\nPolice Wira Satya Triputra, stated that in addition to Indonesian\nrupiah, the police also seized foreign currencies worth 53.82 million\nVietnamese dong and 10,210 US dollars in the case bust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis includes various currencies. We may provide further details\nlater, but that\u2019s for certain,\u201d Wira said during a press conference in\nJakarta on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, Polri will trace the flow of funds in the case and\ninvestigate the servers or internet protocol (IP) addresses in the\nonline gambling site\u2019s communication network.<\/p>\n<p>From the case bust, 321 foreign nationals have been arrested, with\n275 of them designated as suspects.<\/p>\n<p>However, based on examination results, the building in the Hayam\nWuruk office area, which was the site of the bust, is purely an\noperational location for online gambling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir residences are located around this tower,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, he explained that most of the arrested foreign nationals\nwere already aware of the purpose of being brought to Indonesia to work\nfor an online gambling company.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, so far, Wira stated that the arrested foreign nationals\nare the executors, not the masterminds.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Polri is committed to developing the case until finding\nthe high-ranking figures of the online gambling business and the\nsponsors who brought them to Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will also coordinate with relevant stakeholders, in this case\nwith PPATK, then with the Ministry of Immigration and Correctional\nServices. This is for further development,\u201d Wira added.<\/p>",
