Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The West Jakarta Metropolitan Sub-regional Police uncovered a syndicate involved in the illegal sale of 4,324 bank accounts, which were shipped to a Cambodian online gambling syndicate using official courier services.

“We used an official route,” said West Jakarta Police Chief Senior Superintendent M Syahduddi following the raid at a syndicate base in Cengkareng, West Jakarta, on Friday (8/11/2024).

The official courier in question was DHL, located in Pluit, North Jakarta, according to antaranews.com.

“DHL had been frequently used to send mobile phones from the suspects to online gambling operators in Cambodia,” said Chief Syahduddi, as quoted by antaranews.com.

The authorities have not yet disclosed the courier’s role in the case involving the shipment of thousands of accounts from Jakarta to the Cambodian syndicate.

Chief Syahduddi further revealed that the syndicate had been collecting bank accounts for 30 months since 2022. Investigators found 1,081 shipping receipts, each indicating the delivery of two mobile phones containing two mobile banking apps, totaling the 4,324 bank accounts.

Eight suspects, aged between 21 and 44, have been arrested in connection with the case.
