Djuhandhani said that during their operation, the perpetrators were believed to have made billions of rupiah each month.

However, the police were unable to conduct further investigations as most of the victims were living outside the country.

"The crime scene is in the Indonesian territory, but the victims are in Singapore, Thailand, and China, and so far, we have not received any reports or been able to directly obtain information from the victims based on their statements," said Djuhandhani.

Currently, the police are unable to confirm the nationality of the perpetrators because they cannot provide their passports.

Djuhandhani said that they had coordinated with the Immigration Department and International Relations Division (Hubinter) of the Indonesian National Police to determine the nationality of the perpetrators.

The police investigators seized several pieces of evidence, including 51 iPads, 68 cell phones, seven laptops, and one box of headsets.

The investigators charged the perpetrators under Law No. 11/2008 as amended by Law No. 19/2016 on Electronic Information and Transactions and Law No. 6/2011 on Immigration.
