JAKARTA - The Head of the Indonesian National Police (Kapolri) General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has opened the possibility of a re-examination of the former Minister of Communication and Information Technology, Budi Arie Setiadi, in the case of alleged involvement in securing online gambling sites.
Budi Arie's name is mentioned in the indictment of an online gambling case that is being tried at the South Jakarta District Court. In the indictment, Budi Arie allegedly received a 50 percent share of the practice of guarding online gambling sites carried out by a number of former employees of the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Komdigi).
"What is clear is that we have checked and of course we may re-confirm if there are clues," General Listyo Sigit told reporters, quoted Wednesday, May 21.
Previously, Budi Arie had been questioned by Bareskrim Polri investigators in December 2024 in the process of investigating the case. The National Police Chief emphasized that further investigations will depend on developments in the trial, especially if there are instructions or instructions from the panel of judges.
