JAKARTA - Head of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI) Benny Rhamdani has completed an examination for five and a half hours related to the figure T who is said to be controlling online gambling practices in Indonesia.

Investigators raised 22 questions about T, which is now in the spotlight.

However, Benny explained that the figure he presented in front of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in a limited meeting was not an online gambling controller.

According to Benny, T is the mastermind behind the criminal case of trafficking in persons or TIPs.

"My speech and what was conveyed at the internal meeting or limited meeting at the palace was about preventing criminal acts of trafficking in persons," Benny told reporters, Monday, July 29.

"So when it comes to the Cambodian issue, it has something to do with where our illegally dispatched workers are employed in the online gambling business and online scamming," he continued.

In fact, Benny emphasized that in the meeting he did not only present the initials T. There are several other names behind the TIP case in Indonesia.

"But there are also other initials, for example related to illegal placements in the Singapore, there are initials S / J, these are DPO statuses to this day. Then the two initials ARO or AIM, the three initials RS status is also DPP, then Initials S and MM," he said.

Asked further about the figure of T, Benny was reluctant to open it. It is only said that all information has been submitted to investigators from the Directorate of General Crimes at Bareskrim Polri.

"Anyway, who is T, whether he is the correct controller or not, I have put it in the minutes that I signed earlier in giving clarification to fellow investigators," said Benny.

Previously, the figure with the initials T was in the spotlight when Benny Rhamdani bluntly called him the controller of the online gambling business in Indonesia.

In fact, the figure of T is also the mastermind behind the crime of scamming or online fraud based in Cambodia.

"Actually, it is very easy to catch who is the actor behind the online gambling business in Cambodia, and who is the actor behind the scamming online. I just need to mention the initials 'T'," said Benny

Benny also said that the figure of T was never touched by the law in Indonesia even though his identity was known.

"The president was shocked, the National Police Chief was shocked, a bit quite excited at the limited meeting at that time. This person is a person who during this republic's existence may not be touched by law," said Benny.
