JAKARTA - Police will trace the funding of the online gambling (judol) headquarters in the Hayam Wuruk Street area, Jakarta, where 321 foreign nationals (WNA) were arrested.

“We will conduct an investigation into the sponsors who yesterday brought them from abroad,” said the Director of General Criminal Acts (Dirtipidum) of the National Police Criminal Investigation Agency, Brigadier General Wira Satya Triputra, during a press conference at the site of the raid on the judol headquarters in West Jakarta, on Saturday (9/5/2026).

“Then, a very important matter is that we will also coordinate with relevant stakeholders, in this case with PPATK, then with the Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Services,” said Wira.

“In carrying out this activity, we also conducted a joint operation with the Ministry of Immigration to delve into whether there are other criminal acts that we will later prove,” said Wira.

The 321 foreign nationals arrested in the Hayam Wuruk area, Taman Sari Sub-district, West Jakarta, were transferred to several immigration offices on Sunday (10/5/2026).

The transfer was carried out to undergo further examinations as well as cross-agency coordination in handling the case.

“Today, the transfer of 321 foreign nationals to several immigration examination locations for further processing is being carried out,” said the Head of Public Relations of the National Police’s Public Relations Division, Brigadier General of Police Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, in his official statement today.

According to Trunoyudo, 150 people were transferred to the Immigration Detention House (Rudenim), another 150 to the Central Immigration Directorate, and 21 to the West Jakarta Immigration Office.
