JAKARTA - The Criminal Investigation Unit (Bareskrim) of the National Police (Polri) has extended the temporary detention period for the suspect in the online gambling case under the guise of Binomo trading, Indra Kenz. The Crazy Rich Medan will remain in his detention cell until the end of next month.

"Extended (detention period, ed)," said Head of Sub-Directorate II Dittipideksus Polri Commissioner Chandra Sukma Kumara to VOI, Wednesday, March 23.

The extension of Indra Kenz's detention period is because the investigation and filing of online gambling cases has not been completed.

Moreover, the temporary detention period of 20 days has already expired. However, investigators are still developing, so it takes more time.

The extension of the detention period is also in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) Article 24 paragraphs (1) and (2).

"Until April 25," said Chandra.

Previously, Indra Kenz was immediately detained after being named a suspect on February 25. He was placed in the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police for the next 20 days.

Indra Kenz is an affiliate in the gambling application under the guise of trading Binomo. This case was uncovered after the victim complained to the Criminal Investigation Police of the National Police. Indra Kenz is said to have earned 70 percent of the total loss of people playing on the platform.

In this case, Indra Kenz was charged with gambling and online fraud. In addition, he was also charged with the crime of money laundering (TPPU). This article is an effort to impoverish the perpetrators of criminal acts so that there is a deterrent effect.
