Lubuk Linggau Police Chief AKBP Harissandi said the suspect had the initials SLI (50), a resident of Lubuk Linggau Barat City 1. SLI was arrested at his hiding place on Friday evening during an ambush operation by personnel from the Lubuk Linggau Police Criminal Investigation Unit. "From there the police carried out developments until the SLI rose to suspect status after investigators obtained sufficient evidence and strengthened witness statements," he explained when confirmed in Palembang, Antara, Sunday, June 18. SLI runs a business of distributing workers abroad but cannot show the evidence of the legality of its business to investigators. Haris explained, based on the results of the investigation, the suspect SLI admitted that he had been running a labor distribution business for the last three years. Police investigators noted that at least 40 victims had been distributed by the suspect to Malaysia through Batam City, Riau Islands during that period. Before leaving for overseas, every prospective worker who uses SLI services is accommodated in a shelter located in Lubuk Tanjung Village, Lubuk Linggau Barat 1. Finally, during the ambush, the police shelter found that there were two prospective workers who wanted to be illegally distributed to Malaysia. The prospective workers have the initials BS (25) a resident of Penukal Abab Lematang Ilir (PALI) and EK (31) a resident of Lubuk Linggau. "We will convey the series of investigations into the TIP case in Lubuk Linggau in its entirety to the public on Monday (19/6) morning," he said.
