JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya arrested HE, who is a fugitive in an online gambling case involving an individual from the Ministry of Communication and Digital or Komdigi. His roles ranged from dealers to agents.

"The suspect HE claims to be a dealer or owner of one of the web names of Keris123," said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Ade Ary Syam Indradi to reporters, Friday, November 15.

Apart from being a dealer, suspect HE also works as an agent in collaboration with MN.

It is known, MN is a suspect who has been arrested. He served as a liaison between online bookies and suspects from the Ministry of Komdi.

"HE also acts as an agent to find other gambling websites so as not to be blocked by Komdigi," he said.

Based on HE's information, together with his team, around thousands of online gambling sites have been conditioned.

In fact, the wages or commissions obtained as agents reached IDR 2 million to IDR 4 million per month.

This value seems very small when compared to deposits from online bookies conditioned by suspects. Because, every month they have to deposit tens of millions so they don't get blocked.

"Their group has managed thousands of online gambling webs. The costs deposited include IDR 23 million to IDR 24 million per web per month," said Ade.
