JAKARTA - Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Budi Arie Setiadi requested that the names behind the online gambling practice be revealed.

"When using the initials, just mention the names," said Budi at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday, responding to a figure with the initials "T" who is said to be the actor behind online gambling practices, Wednesday, July 31, which was confiscated by Antara.

He admitted that he did not know about the figure with the initials "T". Budi also said that it would be better to just ask the party who first revealed the "T" figure.

"Well, just ask who made the initials, there is no 'T'," said Budi.

Previously, Head of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI) Benny Rhamdani said there was a figure with the initials "T" as the controlling actor for online gambling practices in Indonesia from Cambodia and also the practice of scamming.

This was conveyed by Benny at the inauguration of the Kawan Migrant Workers in the North Sumatra region in Medan, on Thursday, July 23.

On that occasion, Benny also said that he had conveyed the existence of the actor with the initials T in a limited meeting at the Presidential Palace, in front of President Joko Widodo, the TNI Commander, the National Police Chief and a number of ministers some time ago.

Meanwhile, President Joko Widodo when confirmed some time ago stated that he did not know the figure with the initials "T".

Jokowi asked reporters to ask Benny Rhamdani who first revealed the person with the initials 'T'.

"Ah, I don't know. Just ask Pak Benny," said Jokowi briefly on the sidelines of a working visit in Batang, Central Java, Friday, July 26.
