Polda Metro Jaya cooperates with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK) to eradicate who practices online gambling involving elements of the Ministry of Communication and Digital or Komdigi.

By cooperating with PPATK, the police can apply the article of money laundering (TPPU) against the suspects.

Thus, investigators will trace the assets of the suspects who are suspected of being the result of a criminal act and confiscate them to be returned to the state.

"In addition to applying the gambling article, it also applies the article on money laundering or money laundering, so that later confiscation of assets from criminals can be carried out to be returned to the state," he said.

On the other hand, Ade emphasized that the Polda Metro Jaya would continue to thoroughly investigate online gambling cases in accordance with the direction of President Prabowo Subianto.

"Our commitment to the Polda Metro Jaya will continue to uncover this case, arrest all the perpetrators involved," said Ade.

Previously, Polda Metro Jaya arrested another suspect with the initials HE in an online gambling case.

The arrests were made at a hotel in the South Jakarta area on November 15, in the early hours of the morning.

"Investigators managed to arrest one of the initials HE's DPOs," said Ade.

In addition, investigators also published six fugitives in the case. They have the initials A alias M, HF, C, BS, PK, and B.

The fugitives play not only as agents looking for online gambling sites to be 'conditioned'. However, they are also dealers or manage online gambling.

"So some of the DPOs that we mentioned earlier were dealers too. They have a web too, and he also acts as an agent," said Ade.
