JAKARTA - The actions of this married couple are inappropriate to imitate. Instead of competing to do good, C and N were actually involved in placing Indonesian migrant workers illegally.

C and N were arrested by officers from the Riau Islands Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Service Center (BP3MI) (Kepri) at Sri Bintan Pura Port, Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands, last Sunday, February 9.

Officers also secured Ardi Nour Rofiq (20) and Humaidi Aria Putra (23), two prospective Indonesian migrant workers (CPMI) who were arranged by the couple to enter Malaysia illegally.

From the results of the examination, it is known that couple C and N facilitated the two victims starting from the VISA management in Batam.

"Initially, the two victims Rofiq and Putra were summoned to Batam to submit passports for VISA by the couple on Sunday, January 19," wrote the Ministry of P2MI in an official release received in Jakarta, Tuesday, January 11.

After that, the two victims were allowed to return to their respective hometowns until they were recalled by the couple to start the departure process.

Rofiq then departed from his residence in Jepara, Central Java to Batam, arranged by the couple to stay at Hotel 77 Nagoya. Meanwhile, the son of East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), was placed staying in the Jodoh River District, Batam.

After that, the two victims were asked to board the ferry to Tanjungpinang, who then met the couple and temporarily stayed at the residence of the two perpetrators in the Jalan Cendrawasih area, Tanjungpinang on Friday, February 7.

After receiving the news that the passports of the two victims had been completed, the couple then took Rofiq and Putra to Sri Bintan Pura Tanjungpinang Port to Malaysia by ferry on Sunday (9/2/2025).

However, their efforts were caught by BP3MI Riau Islands officers during the process of checking in departure. Officers found irregularities regarding the management of VISA for the two victims for three months in Batam and the departure procedure in Tanjungpinang.

Following up on this, BP3MI Kepri officers handed over the two victims to the Tanjungpinang Police Satreskrim for further questioning.

Meanwhile, for couples C and N, the Tanjungpinang Police Satreskrim made arrests based on law enforcement in cases of placing illegal Indonesian migrant workers and the Crime of Trafficking in Persons (TPPO).
