JAKARTA - Head of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI) Benny Rhamdani will undergo further examination regarding the person with the initials T at the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit, today.

The figure of T is in the spotlight after being called the controller of online gambling in Indonesia.

Today's examination plan is a follow-up after Benny asked for a postponement because he could not fulfill the clarification invitation scheduled by investigators on August 3.

"I have submitted a postponement letter through my attorney. I have submitted a postponement letter to the 5th," said Benny to VOI, Thursday, August 1.

His absence in the examination agenda was due to his duties as Head of BP2MI in North Sulawesi which had to be resolved.

On a different occasion, Benny, who was questioned about keeping his promise to provide clarification today, did not provide an answer.

The Head of BP2MI did not even respond to the calls and short messages sent.

Meanwhile, Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, confirmed the schedule for Benny Rhamdani's examination only said that investigators scheduled him today.

However, it was not conveyed whether or not there was confirmation of Benny's presence or not at the time of the examination.

"(The examination) on the 5th is planned," said Trunoyudo.

Benny was originally questioned on Monday, July 29. For five and a half hours, the Head of BP2MI explained that he was related to the figure T who was said to be controlling online gambling practices in Indonesia.

Investigators are said to have asked 22 questions regarding the problem and are now in the spotlight. At that time, Benny explained that the person with the initials T was not the controller of online gambling. T is called Benny the mastermind behind the criminal case of trafficking in persons or TIP.

"My speech and what was conveyed in an internal meeting or limited meeting at the palace was about preventing criminal acts of trafficking in persons," said Benny.

"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.
