Indonesia’s National Police have frozen and seized 811 bank accounts containing Rp154.3bn (over US$10m) in a crackdown on online gambling.
The operation was carried out in coordination with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), based on reports from the financial intelligence agency.
“All are suspected to be linked to online gambling activity,” said Senior Commissioner Ferdy Saragih from the Cybercrime Directorate of Polri’s Criminal Investigation Unit.
Of the total, the directorate froze 576 accounts worth Rp63.7bn and seized 235 accounts containing Rp90.6bn, Saragih said. Investigations are being conducted under Supreme Court Regulation No. 1/2013, he added.
“This is not the final step. We will continue to track and dismantle online gambling networks. It is part of our commitment to cleaning up illegal activity in the digital space,” Saragih added.
Police are expected to provide further details at a press conference in the coming days, including updates on ongoing investigations.
