The East Jakarta Metro Police are investigating indications of the crime of Trafficking in Persons (TPPO) against the torture case of 5 underage housemaids (PRT) who were allegedly abused by their employers in the Jatinegara area, East Jakarta.

"We will explore it later, because this is indeed the son of a small village in Central Java. Indeed, it was what brought it from the mouth to the mouth," said Head of PPA of the East Jakarta Metro Police, AKP Sri Yatmini to VOI, Friday, February 16.

The East Jakarta Metro Police PPA Unit has also contacted a number of the victim's parents regarding the case that happened to five victims. Even so, the five of them are still at home safe because the investigation process is still ongoing.

"We have contacted their parents. Because these children must be assisted. We ensure that these children are currently safe under our protection and the institution," he said.

Meanwhile, from the results of the PPA Unit investigation, the five victims were brought by individuals (allegedly a syndicate of people trafficking) to their employers in the Jatinegara area.

"Yes, that's true (carried by individuals), so there is one neighbor who knows and works here (in Jakarta), so he brought (the victims). So it's not really from the distributor," he said.
