Indonesian police have submitted a request for an INTERPOL Red Notice in respect of a fugitive identified as “LA” connected with an alleged illegal migrant worker recruitment operation.
According to authorities, the individual is suspected of recruiting Indonesian nationals for employment abroad under false pretences, including offers of work linked to online gambling operations with promised salaries and travel arrangements.
The investigation was initiated after police identified prospective migrant workers preparing to travel abroad using connecting flights, and subsequent enquiries indicated the involvement of an organised recruitment network.
Authorities stated that the suspect left the country after being placed on a national wanted list. The Red Notice request has been submitted through INTERPOL channels to support efforts to locate the individual outside national jurisdiction.
Police have indicated that investigations are ongoing into other individuals suspected of participating in the recruitment and facilitation of outbound travel.
