In Prison Uniforms, 320 Foreign Nationals from Online Gambling Syndicate in Hayam Wuruk Escorted to Immigration Detention
Bareskrim Polri has detained 320 foreign nationals (WNA) involved in an online gambling (judol) syndicate at an office building on Jalan Hayam Wuruk, West Jakarta. Bareskrim is handing over the 320 WNA from the judol syndicate to the immigration detention house (rudenim).
Observations by detikcom at the office building on Jalan Hayam Wuruk, West Jakarta, on Sunday (10/5/2026) showed that hundreds of these WNA began to be removed from the building at 17:18 WIB. Several fully armed Brimob officers were seen providing escort.
The hundreds of WNA from the judol syndicate were seen wearing orange prison uniforms. Their hands were bound with cable ties, and they walked with heads bowed during the transfer process to rudenim.
They were then moved using several buses that had been prepared. The hundreds of WNA walked in formation from the building to the buses under tight security.
“The plan for today is to hand over the perpetrators to the Immigration Detention House, which will later be divided into two locations. The first in Kuningan and the other in West Jakarta,” said the Director of General Criminal Acts (Dirtipidum) of Bareskrim Polri, Brigjen Wira Satya Triputra, at the location.
The reason for handing over the 320 perpetrators is because they hold WNA status, so the handling is coordinated with the Directorate General of Immigration. Meanwhile, one Indonesian citizen (WNI) perpetrator will still be taken to the Bareskrim Polri office.
“We need to convey that for the 321 perpetrators, we will hand over 320. Because they are foreign nationals. Whereas the one person will still be taken by us to Bareskrim,” he added.
As is known, 321 people were arrested in the raid on the judol headquarters on Jalan Hayam Wuruk, West Jakarta. The WNA come from various countries.
Brigjen Wira revealed that the WNA were caught red-handed while operating judol sites on Thursday (7/5).
“The perpetrators were caught red-handed, meaning the perpetrators were carrying out operations or activities related to online gambling. From the perpetrators we successfully secured, the number reached 321 people,” said Wira to reporters at the location on Saturday (9/5).
Wira also revealed that the WNA entered Indonesia using tourist permits or visas. He stated that the visas of the WNA had expired.
Here is the origin of the WNA:
Vietnam: 228 people
China: 57 people
Myanmar: 13 people
Laos: 11 people
Thailand: 5 people
Malaysia: 3 people
Cambodia: 3 people
