Five people face trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Indonesia.- Jakarta prosecutors have indicted five suspects linked to an alleged online gambling operation after Indonesian police confiscated more than US$3m in assets during a raid. Law enforcement authorities said the raid uncovered financial infrastructure used to process online gambling transactions, including bank accounts and digital payment tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities also seized computers, mobile devices, banking documentation and other financial records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All forms of gambling are illegal in Indonesia. Recently, police said they had frozen financial transactions worth IDR255.75bn (US$15.2m)<\/a> linked to 132 suspected online gambling sites. This was carried out by the Cybercrime Directorate of the Indonesian National Police\u2019s Criminal Investigation Unit, known as Dittipidsiber, after receiving 51 financial intelligence reports from Indonesia\u2019s anti-money laundering agency, the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators identified suspicious transactions originating from 5,961 bank accounts connected to the gambling platforms. They temporarily halted the movement of funds while determining whether the transactions were linked to illegal betting deposits or withdrawals.
