JAKARTA — Three hundred twenty-one foreigners were arrested in a raid on an alleged online gambling operation in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, police said Saturday, in one of the country’s largest crackdowns on illegal digital betting networks.
The 321 foreigners, mainly from Vietnam, were arrested at a commercial building near the city’s Chinatown section that investigators described as a hub for more than 70 online gambling websites, targeting players outside Indonesia.
Those arrested include 228 Vietnamese, 57 Chinese and the rest came from Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia, said Wira Satya Triputra, Director of General Crimes with the Indonesian National Police.
