Auliansyah also added that his party was still investigating this case including the other parties involved so he could not provide more detailed information.
“That brother AG and the F did not work alone. So later there is the passport maker, there are those who carry out activities for health checks, then there are those who recruit at the place of origin, because these victims come from NTB, and then later there are those who receive at the destination,” he added.
Previously, the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate (Ditreskrimsus) of Polda Metro Jaya had arrested two suspects in a case of criminal trafficking in persons (TPPO) with the intention of exploitation.
“The two suspects are a man with the initials AG and a woman with the initials F,” said Director of Special Criminal Investigation (Dirreskrimsus) of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol Auliansyah Lubis during a press conference in Jakarta, Thursday.
Auliansyah explained that the Subdit 3 Environmental Resources (Sumdaling) team received information and conducted an investigation in the Kebon Jeruk area, West Jakarta.
