The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police (Bareskrim Polri) spoke about the legal consequences related to the absence of evidence behind the statement by the Head of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Protection Agency (BP2MI) Benny Rhamdani who called the figure of the initial T as the controller of online gambling and the crime of trafficking in persons (TPPO) in Indonesia.

Director of General Crimes at Bareskrim Polri Brigadier General Djuhandani Rahardjo Puro said that his party would first analyze all Benny's information during the clarification process.

"The consequences of the law, we will see, we will see later we will re-analyze it," said Djuhandani to reporters quoted on Tuesday, August 6.

The analysis process with the aim of ensuring Benny Rhamdani's statement is included in the category of spreading false news or not.

Although, it is undeniable that there have been parties who have reported Benny Rhamdani regarding his statement about the figure of T

"Whether the information can be seen whether it spreads news or so, of course we will explore it," he said

"We'll see," continued Djuhandani in response to the element of fake news behind Benny Rhamdani's statement.

It is known, in the second examination which lasted approximately 8 hours starting from 12.12 WIB to 20.17 WIB, Benny also admitted that he did not know who T really was. In fact, when investigated, Benny did not have any evidence.

"Then, we asked about the initials T. The person concerned could not answer who it was Mister T, then the person concerned only conveyed information that hopefully it could be revealed by the Police who initials T, that's all," he said.

"There is no evidence, even the initials T cannot be mentioned by the person concerned," continued Djuhandhani.

Benny only conveyed that the information regarding the initials T, which was referred to as controlling online gambling or TIP, was obtained from the chairman of the BP2MI in the Serang area who had died.

That confession has changed from before. This is because Benny had mentioned that the information on the figure of T was obtained from two people who were illegally employed in Cambodia.

"In the beginning, yesterday on May 23, it was conveyed from one of the victims or migrant workers who were from Cambodia, now the information is being collected from Joko Purwanto's brother, who happened to be the Head of BP2MI from Serang and is currently dead," said Djuhandhani.
