Kapanlagi.com - The name Zulkarnaen Apriliantony is now in the spotlight after being embroiled in an online gambling scandal involving several employees of the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi).
The former Commissioner of the state-owned enterprise PT Hotel Indonesia Natour is suspected of acting as a liaison between online gamblers and the ministry, a role that is quite shocking given his reputation in the creative economy sector and political campaigns.
Zulkarnaen, who was previously known as an influential figure, now faces serious allegations related to a scandal involving more than a thousand online gambling sites. This case has garnered increased attention because Zulkarnaen once held strategic positions, including as Director II of the National Winning Team for the Ganjar-Mahfud candidate pair in the 2024 elections.
Together with ten other employees of Komdigi, Zulkarnaen Apriliantony was arrested by the Metro Jaya Police. This case has drawn attention as it highlights how easily individuals within the government can be infiltrated by illegal practices that harm many parties. The public is now waiting for the continuation of this case and its impact on the political and governmental landscape.
Zulkarnaen Apriliantony, or commonly known as Tony, previously shone brightly in the career world, both in the public and private sectors. As a former Commissioner of PT Hotel Indonesia Natour, he played a vital role in managing one of the leading state-owned enterprises, while also serving as the Head of the Creative Economy Division at the Federation of Tourism and Creative Economy Workers Unions.
However, the spotlight has now shifted to a dark path, as Tony became involved in an online gambling scandal that has shaken his reputation. Amid the hustle and bustle of the 2024 Presidential Election, where he served as the Director II of the National Winning Team for the Ganjar-Mahfud pair, Tony chose to resign from his position at PT Hotel Indonesia Natour in February 2024, just before the major scandal broke, and is now more often seen active in the political arena.
The arrest of Zulkarnaen Apriliantony has become the focus of attention after the police from the Subdit Jatanras Ditreskrimum Polda Metro Jaya uncovered an online gambling operation involving several employees of the Ministry of Communication and Digital (Komdigi).
Police Commissioner Ade Ary Syam Indradi, Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, revealed that eleven Komdigi employees have been secured due to their alleged involvement in this scheme, where they received compensation to protect gambling sites from being blocked by the government.
The revealed modus operandi is shocking, with 'security' fees reaching Rp8 million per protected gambling site, generating fantastic profits of up to Rp8.5 billion from more than a thousand sites they managed.
Zulkarnaen Apriliantony, commonly known as Tony Tomang, is now in the spotlight for allegedly acting as a bridge between online gambling operators and the Ministry of Communication and Informatics. The social media account @PartaiSocmed revealed that Zulkarnaen is the right-hand man of the Minister of Komdigi, who is suspected of connecting gambling operators with several ministry employees.
However, the police are still keeping the details of Zulkarnaen's involvement tightly under wraps. Police Commissioner Wira Satya Triputra, Director of Ditreskrimum Polda Metro Jaya, confirmed that the investigation is still ongoing and further information will be provided in upcoming official releases.
In the latest shocking news, the Metro Jaya Police have revealed the involvement of several important figures in this scandal, including Adhi Kismanto, who is better known by the nickname Fallen.
This man not only played a role as the controller of the blocking of online gambling sites in Komdigi, but also had a close relationship with Zulkarnaen, a figure suspected of being the bridge for Adhi to enter the structure of Komdigi.
There are rumors that Zulkarnaen became Adhi's main sponsor to pass the selection, and after officially joining, Adhi utilized his IT skills to manage the software that functions to monitor and protect the online gambling sites.
The arrest of Zulkarnaen Apriliantony has triggered a wave of commotion in the Indonesian political arena, especially ahead of the 2024 Presidential Election. As a former member of the campaign team for the Ganjar-Mahfud pair, Zulkarnaen is now under sharp public scrutiny after being embroiled in an online gambling scandal that tarnished the reputation of the campaign team.
Moreover, this case also reveals the potential abuse of power within the government, considering his closeness to several influential figures in Komdigi. With the investigation into this case continuing, the public anxiously awaits to find out how deeply these illegal practices have undermined our governmental order.
