JAKARTA - A total of 92 foreign nationals (WNA) from China, who were involved in an online gambling syndicate and investment fraud perpetrators in Batam, were included in the life-long blacklist by the Directorate General of Immigration.
With this, dozens of foreign nationals were immediately deported on Sunday (5/7), through Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Soetta), Banten, using China Southern Airlines with flight number CZ2988 to Guangzhou, China.
"This mass deportation was carried out at the official request of the People's Republic of China (PRC) authorities through the Ministry of Public Security," said Head of the Soekarno-Hatta Immigration Office, Galih P. Kartika Perdhana, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, July 6.
He said that in the deportation process, the Chinese government fully facilitated by sending a special pick-up team and covering all the costs of accommodation and deportation operations.
According to him, Soetta Immigration applies contingency standard operating procedures (SOP) to keep the situation conducive.
"We apply a special and separate immigration inspection mechanism, ranging from verification of biometric identity to escort to the aircraft door. We designed this pattern so that the repatriation process of 92 detainees runs smoothly without disturbing the flow of regular passenger services," he explained.
