JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the DPR highlighted the arrest of Tiktoker Gunawan alias Sadbor due to allegations of online gambling promotion (judol). The legal commission hopes that law enforcers can also be fair in investigating cases of promotion of judol by public figures.

"Law enforcement must be fair, including the public figures involved in online gambling activities. There are many artists, influencers, celebrities who were examined yesterday but the case is not clear," said DPR Commission III member Martin Tumbeleka Thursday, November 7.

Martin asked law enforcers to be more transparent in investigating cases of judol, and to apply the principle of justice.

"Investigate and also investigate public figures who participate in promoting and engaging in online gambling activities, not only hard on this small community like Sadbor. He is guilty of participating in the promotion of judol, but there are still many who have bigger mistakes whose cases have not been investigated," he said.

"Don't let this law be sharp downwards but blunt upwards. People have also shouted that they ask for the law to be fair to all," continued Martin.

According to him, this case of online gambling promotion by public figures should be a strong warning to all parties because they have a big influence on society. Martin reminded that it is not uncommon for people to fall into judol because they are influenced by their promoting idols.

"The celebrities have a big influence on society. They must be responsible for every content they spread, because they have promoted products that are illegal and detrimental to individuals and society," he said.

Many people are affected by the big names of celebrities, trapped in gambling games they consider legal or legal because they are conveyed by big names like artists," added Martin.

Martin also encouraged the government and law enforcement officials to work together to eradicate this illegal practice. As well as providing strict sanctions for those who try to exploit the community through harmful promotions.

Because due to the promotions carried out by these artists, said Martin, many people were deceived and suffered a lot of material losses. Even though some artists stated that they did not know that they had promoted online gambling sites, Martin said that it did not mean that the case was finished there.

'How about another party? Like the Sadbor, he was arrested for reading a request for a judol site that gave him a TikTok live time Gift, like other people who gave him a gimmick. He also doesn't know, right," he said.

As is known, a resident of Sukabumi known as Gunawan Sadbor was arrested by the Police and has been named a suspect in online gambling, which carries a sentence of 10 years in prison.

The arrest of the owner of the dance 'Ayam Patuk' reminded again about the large number of public figures who stumbled upon online gambling cases because they participated in promoting it.

On the other hand, so far there have been a number of major artists and influencers who have been summoned by the police for questioning regarding online gambling promotions but not in the process.

There are more than 25 artists who are suspected of taking advantage of their popularity to promote online gambling platforms with the aim of influencing their followers. Several artists were examined by Bareskrim Polri such as the Cupi Cupita singer, Wulan Guritno, and Yuki Kato.

Long before that, a number of artists suspected of being involved in online gambling promotions included Presenter Boy William, singer Ari Lasso, and celebrity Arief Muhammad.
