  "account": "Police in Medan, North Sumatra, conducted a raid on an apartment unit housing an online gambling syndicate from Cambodia. During the operation, five cashiers who previously worked in the Cambodian network were arrested. The raid, carried out by the Ressiber (Cyber Crimes Investigation) Directorate, yielded the arrest of the employees who processed betting deposits and winnings for the online gamblers. The unit was identified as the headquarters of the Cambodian gambling network, which had been operating in Medan since October 8. The five detainees were identified as former cashiers of the syndicate, who were lured to Medan by the network's manager, Wendi. Wendi is currently at large, while the operation is part of a broader crackdown by the police forces in North Sumatra and Central Java against similar operations.",
