Army raids online gambling operation at military complex, arrests 11
The Indonesian Army has dismantled an online gambling operation at a military housing complex in Cijantung, East Jakarta, arresting 11 civilians, the Army said on Thursday.
Army Spokesperson Brigadier General Donny Pramono said the raid on October 4 followed reports of suspicious activities at a house in the Cijantung Army Housing Complex.
"Following up on the information, personnel from the 0505/East Jakarta Military District Command and local authorities raided the location and secured evidence for further action," Pramono said.
The personnel found numerous computers in several rooms at the house, which were suspected of being used to operate an online gambling system.
All 11 people arrested were civilians, comprising six men and five women, Pramono said.
"They were brought to the military police unit for questioning and further investigation into activities conducted at the location," he said.
The authorities seized 32 computers, 14 cellphones and nine personal identity cards during the raid, Pramono said.
He said the operation demonstrated the Indonesian Army's commitment to combating online gambling and preventing illegal activities at facilities under its jurisdiction.
"The Indonesian Army will not allow facilities within its environment to be used for illegal activities that harm the public," he said.
