Indonesian police arrest 321 foreign nationals in a raid in Jakarta on an alleged online gambling operation, described by investigators as one of the country’s largest crackdowns on illegal digital betting networks. Police say the arrests take place at a commercial building near the city’s Chinatown area. Authorities describe the location as a hub linked to more than 70 online gambling websites, with marketing records indicating the sites target players outside Indonesia.
Multiple outlets report that the detainees are mostly from Vietnam, while a group of other foreign nationals are also included among those detained. Police state they carry out the operation as part of enforcement against banned online gambling activities. During the raid, police seize various devices connected to the alleged operation, according to reports that describe the findings at the site.
The outlets agree on the central details: the scale of the arrests, the Jakarta location, the alleged connection to dozens of online gambling websites, and that police conduct the action as part of a crackdown on illegal online betting. No outlet included specific information about charges or court outcomes at the time of reporting.
