The West Java Regional Police succeeded in repatriating Reni Rahmawati, a resident of Cisaat District, Sukabumi Regency, who was a victim of alleged criminal acts of trafficking in persons (TPPO) in Guangzhou, China.

"With gratitude to Allah SWT, today's blessed day has returned to our brother Reni Rahmawati," said West Java Police Chief Inspector General Rudi Setiawan when receiving Reni's arrival as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, November 18.

Rudi explained that Reni was declared missing in September 2025 and was later found to have been brought to China to be married by a resident of Guanzhou, Fujian Province.

He said his party had named two people as suspects suspected of selling the victim abroad.

"This happened because there was a trick, there was a criminal act committed by two people who we have named as suspects," he said.

The victim was previously promised a salary of Rp. 15 million to be willing to work in China, but upon arrival he was married to a local citizen.

The West Java Regional Police together with Immigration, the West Java Provincial Government, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs then made various efforts to repatriate the person concerned.

"Alhamdulillah, Reni was able to be secured and helped by the Indonesian Consulate General there. The process for her return was to solve the remaining legal problems in Guangzhou," said Rudi.

He said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together with representatives of the Indonesian Consulate General in picking up Reni until she was finally brought home and arrived at the West Java Police Headquarters.

The Kapolda reminded the public not to be easily deceived by unclear job offers.

"We have named two suspects and are processing other suspects who are still in our search," he said.

Meanwhile, Reni Rahmawati admitted that she was grateful to be able to return to Indonesia and also emphasized that while in China, she did not experience physical violence or sexual harassment.

"Thank you to the Consul General who has helped even directly, thank you Mrs. Indah from the Indonesian Consulate General, thank you, Mr. Kapolda. While there there was no sexual harassment and no physical violence," said Reni.
