The Winning Team for Candidate Pair for Governor and Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta number 3, Pramono-Rano, denied Cooperative Minister Budi Arie Setiadi‘s statement regarding the online gambling mafia in the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi) with the initials T.
Budi said that the suspect in the online gambling mafia was the Head of the Social Media Content Division of the Pramono Anung-Rano Karno Winning Team.
“We firmly state that this information is not true and does not match the existing facts,” said the Media and Social Media Coordinator of the Pramono Anung and Rano Karno Winning Team, Pangeran Siahaan in Jakarta, Monday (11/11).
He explained that T, as mentioned by Budi Arie Setiadi, was not part of the winning team and was never the Head of Social Media Content for the Pramono Anung-Rano Karno Winning Team in the 2024 Jakarta Pilkada.
Prince said that Budi Arie’s statement was clearly a mistake and could be called information that misleads the public. Prince emphasized that he and Reinhard Sirait were the media and social media coordinators for the Pramono Anung-Rano Karno Winning Team.
Apart from that, the Pramono-Rano couple firmly expressed their full support for law enforcement measures aimed at eradicating the practice of online gambling in Indonesia as well as taking firm action against individuals involved in or protecting online gambling perpetrators.
For Pramono-Rano and the entire team, online gambling is a crime that is detrimental to society, has a negative impact on mental health, the economy and social stability.
“We remind you that it is not only online gambling perpetrators who need to be punished, but also individuals who provide protection, facilitation or are even involved in online gambling networks must be prosecuted legally,” said Pangeran.
He said that protecting or engaging in this illegal activity is a criminal offense that must be given appropriate sanctions so that there is no room for this detrimental practice.
The Prince hopes that this clarification can clarify the misunderstandings that have occurred and stop the spread of incorrect information.
“We also hope that in the future, any information submitted can be based on clear facts and can be accounted for,” he said.
On Monday morning there was spread in many chat groups regarding the video of the raid which, if you look at it, looks like the Attorney General’s uniform. The narration in the video says that the Pramono-Si Doel Social Media Content Team was raided at its headquarters.
The video shows piles of tens of billions of rupiah in cash with video narration that is linked to the online gambling mafia problem. (Ant/I-2)
