National Police Chief Collaborates With PPATK To Investigate Online Gambling Syndicate Fund Flows, Including Tracking Member Linkages

JAKARTA - The National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo will cooperate with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) in investigating the flow of funds from gambling syndicates. This step is to ensure whether or not its members are connected to the dark circle of gambling.

"Cooperation with PPATK is tracing existing accounts, all of which will be obtained after receiving reports from PPATK," said Sigit to reporters at the DPR building, Wednesday, August 24.

By cooperating with PPATK, all parties involved in gambling crimes will be punished more severely. Because, the article on the crime of money laundering (TPPU) will be applied.

Meanwhile, for the perpetrators who have now fled abroad after a series of disclosures of gambling cases, Sigit stated that he would recommend issuing a ban to a red notice.

"Then later we can investigate and then we will withdraw of course the perpetrators who are currently running away, and so on, we will issue a ban and red notice," said Sigit.

The National Police Chief confirmed that he would investigate the alleged connection between members of the National Police who protect the crime of gambling. Sigit asserted that he would immediately remove him if proven.

"If later on from the perpetrators it is said that there are members involved, of course we will process us to remove them," said Sigit.
