"This is a concern for us at the Bali Police, especially from the Cyber Unit of the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate. Meanwhile, we want to confirm and explore the truth of the information. Based on information from Telegram, prostitutes who offer themselves are suspected to be foreign nationals. However, this is still being investigated by colleagues from Cyber Sub-Directorate," said Jansen, Saturday, October 21.
Jansen said the Bali Police Cyber Unit cooperated with Immigration and Kominfo as Task Force and other relevant stakeholders who handled foreigners in Bali.
He said if this really happened in the Bali area, then his party would process the law of foreigners involved in the prostitution business for violating the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE).
"We will check the people who are suspected of being in Bali. Of course we will process it because it has something to do with the ITE Law and other laws. Later we will process it. First we will confirm the truth first, whether it happened in Bali according to the contents of the viral telegram or elsewhere," he said.
