DIY Police Seize 1,672 Bottles of Illegal Booze in One Week – Big Move for a Safer Yogyakarta

DIY Police Seize 1,672 Bottles of Illegal Booze in One Week – Big Move for a Safer Yogyakarta.

Yogyakarta – In just one week, the Yogyakarta Police (Polda DIY) managed to confiscate 1,672 bottles of illegal alcohol during their ongoing crackdown on unlicensed booze. This raid is part of their Level II Anti-Alcohol Operation (Operasi Miras Tahap II) under the enhanced routine patrol program known as KRYD (Kegiatan Rutin yang Ditingkatkan), conducted on Monday, July 14, 2025.

So, what did they find? A whole mix of stuff:

• 889 bottles of type A alcohol

• 462 bottles of type B

• 119 bottles of type C

• 39 bottles of Arak Bali

• 153 bottles of homemade/bootleg drinks

All of that was confiscated and is now safely in police custody.

No Chill on Booze: Police Are Going All Out

According to Kombes Pol Ihsan, S.I.K., the spokesperson for Polda DIY, this isn’t just a one-time thing. The police are seriously committed to getting rid of illegal alcohol in Yogyakarta.

“We’re doing this to protect people. Illegal alcohol isn’t just dangerous to your health—it also leads to crime. We’ll keep doing these raids to make Yogyakarta safer and more peaceful,” he said.

And he’s right—unlicensed booze has been linked to everything from poisoning to street fights. No one wants that.

Let’s Team Up: If You See Something, Say Something

The cops aren’t asking you to be a superhero, but they do want your help. Don’t drink or sell alcohol without a license, and if you see something sketchy going on—report it.

Your neighborhood will be way better off if everyone does their part.

This booze bust is more than just a headline—it’s part of a bigger mission to keep the streets safe, chill, and clean. With continued efforts from the police and support from the community, Yogyakarta can totally be a city that’s free from the dangers of illegal alcohol.

So, if you know someone selling shady drinks? Speak up. Let’s make Yogyakarta a safer place—together.

Indonesian Women's Commission Urges Justice for Child Rape Case in Cianjur

Indonesian Women's Commission Urges Justice for Child Rape Case in Cianjur.

Another heartbreaking story is making headlines in Indonesia. A young girl in Cianjur was reportedly raped by 12 men—an absolutely horrifying case that’s now under serious public and legal scrutiny.

The Vice Chair of Indonesia’s National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan), Ratna Batara Munti, isn’t staying silent. She’s calling on the government to fully investigate the case and make sure the victim gets the justice and protection she deserves.

“This isn’t just about punishing the perpetrators,” Ratna said after a public hearing with Indonesia’s House of Representatives (DPR). “It’s also about making sure the child receives proper care and support—from safe shelter to psychological recovery.”

Ratna highlighted the importance of agencies like the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for Women and Child Protection (UPTD PPA), the Social Affairs Office, and Health Services in helping victims of sexual violence. According to her, the government must ensure that every child’s rights—especially victims—are respected and fulfilled.

“We need to ask: is she getting the support she needs? Is there a safe house ready? Has she started her healing process? That’s what we want to track closely.”

She also encouraged the victim or her legal guardian to report the case directly to Komnas Perempuan, especially if there hasn’t been any proper legal assistance provided yet. If needed, the commission will step in and offer direct support and case monitoring.

“Even if no one has come forward yet, we’ll step in,” she said. “We’ll do outreach and make sure this doesn’t go unnoticed.”

Ratna emphasized that Indonesia’s Sexual Violence Law (UU TPKS) and Child Protection Law clearly spell out the responsibilities of the government when it comes to protecting victims like this girl.

This isn't just another case file. It’s a call for real action. The justice system must work fast, and all related agencies need to step up. Protecting children and survivors of violence should be a national priority—no child should suffer in silence.

TNI Soldier Murdered in Mimika: What Really Happened? Here’s What We Know So Far

TNI Soldier Murdered in Mimika: What Really Happened? Here’s What We Know So Far

TNI Soldier Murdered in Mimika: What Really Happened? Here’s What We Know So Far.

Mimika, Papua – Things got tense over the weekend when a TNI (Indonesian Army) soldier was found dead in the Bhintuka SP13 area, Kuala Kencana District, on Sunday, July 13, 2025. Now, both police and the military are on high alert, trying to figure out who’s behind this brutal killing.

According to Mimika Police Chief AKBP Billyandha Hildiario Budiman, the team has already inspected the crime scene with full support from the military and the Military Police (POM). They’re not taking this lightly—several witnesses have been questioned, and more leads are being followed up.

“We did a full crime scene investigation with TNI and POM involved. We’ve coordinated with their unit and already interviewed some witnesses. Right now, we’re still digging deeper,” said AKBP Billyandha, as quoted by papua60detik on Monday, July 14, 2025.

OPM Says “We Did It,” But Can We Trust That?

Shortly after the news broke, a statement from the OPM (Free Papua Organization) started circulating. Their spokesperson, Sebby Sambom, claimed the attack was done by TPNPB (West Papua National Liberation Army), under orders from Goliat Tabuni.

But here’s the catch—authorities aren’t buying it just yet.

“Don’t believe everything you read online. That info could totally be fake. We're still figuring out if this was just a criminal act or something linked to OPM,” said the police chief.

Basically, the cops are saying, “Hold up—let’s get the facts straight first.”

No Need to Panic – Mimika’s Still Safe

With news like this, it’s easy for people to freak out. But the police are urging everyone in Mimika to stay calm. Security forces are working closely with special task forces to keep everything under control.

“We’ve already coordinated with all related teams. People don’t need to stress. We’ve got this. Mimika is still safe and secure,” said Billyandha confidently.

So, What’s Next?

Right now, the investigation is ongoing. No one’s been arrested yet, and there’s still a lot of digging to do before any conclusions are made. The claim from OPM may just be noise—or maybe it’s not. Either way, the authorities are on it.

If you’re in the area or just following the news—don’t jump to conclusions. Only trust updates from official sources. Sharing unverified info (or worse, fake news) helps no one and can actually make things worse.

Grandpa in Serang Caught Assaulting Autistic Woman After Being Caught Red-Handed by Child Witness

Grandpa in Serang Caught Assaulting Autistic Woman After Being Caught Red-Handed by Child Witness

Grandpa in Serang Caught Assaulting Autistic Woman After Being Caught Red-Handed by Child Witness.

This one’s disturbing and heartbreaking. A 63-year-old man, let’s call him IB, from Kopo District, Serang, just got arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting his autistic neighbor, a 47-year-old woman. The shocking part? He got caught in the act by the victim’s young niece — and tried to silence her violently.

According to Serang Police Chief AKBP Condro Sasongko, IB was taken into custody on Friday, July 11, 2025, right at his home, just hours after the victim’s family filed an official report.

“We’ve arrested the suspect and placed him in Serang Police custody for further investigation,” said the police chief, quoted by Antaranews on Sunday, July 13.

What Really Happened?

It all went down on Wednesday, June 25, around 1:30 PM. The victim was home alone — and that’s when IB decided to make his sick move.

He knew she was vulnerable and alone. That’s when he sneaked into her house, straight into her room where she was asleep. He didn’t care that a little kid — the victim’s niece — saw him walk in.

And yes, sadly, he did the unthinkable.

Right when he was doing his awful act, the little girl walked in. Instead of backing off, IB kicked her in the stomach to shut her up. But this brave kid ran straight to some nearby residents hanging out at a warung (local food stall) and told them everything.

Locals Stormed the House and Found Him Red-Handed

The neighbors didn’t wait around. They rushed to the house, busted open the door, and caught the predator in action. They immediately took him to the local neighborhood leader (RT) to keep him safe from being attacked by the angry crowd.

A few days later, on Monday, June 30, the victim’s family officially reported the case to the police.

What’s Next for the Suspect?

Now, IB is facing serious jail time. He’s been charged under Article 6(c) of Indonesia’s Law No. 12/2022 on Sexual Violence Crimes, which carries a maximum sentence of 12 years in prison.

Real Talk: Let’s Stay Aware and Speak Up

This case is more than just shocking — it’s a reminder that we all need to look out for our most vulnerable, especially those with disabilities. Thanks to the courage of one young girl and the quick action from local residents, this man didn’t get away with it.

If you ever witness or suspect abuse — speak up. Report it. Protect the vulnerable.

Let’s create a society where everyone feels safe and respected. No one deserves to suffer in silence.

Crypto Job Scam Exposed Indonesian Victims Tricked and Trafficked to Myanmar Two Suspects Caught

Crypto Job Scam Exposed Indonesian Victims Tricked and Trafficked to Myanmar Two Suspects Caught

Crypto Job Scam Exposed Indonesian Victims Tricked and Trafficked to Myanmar Two Suspects Caught.

Jakarta — Here’s a wild one: Indonesian police just busted an international human trafficking ring using a sneaky crypto job scam. Yup, you read that right — victims were promised sweet-paying crypto admin gigs in the UAE, but ended up trapped and exploited in Myanmar instead.

It all started back in March 2025 when a group of Indonesians was repatriated from Myanmar. Digging deeper, investigators discovered they were originally recruited with a promise of high-paying work in the Middle East. But somewhere along the line, they were rerouted to Thailand, and eventually smuggled into Myawaddy, a conflict area in Myanmar.

The Crypto Job That Was Too Good to Be True

Victims were told they'd earn a monthly salary of 26,000 Baht (around Rp11 million). But the reality? No legit job, no proper pay — just exploitation, stress, and zero rights.

“The traffickers handled everything — from making passports, doing video call interviews via WhatsApp, buying flight tickets from Pangkal Pinang to Jakarta, even covering the journey all the way to Myanmar,” said Brigjen Pol. Dr. Nurul Azizah, Head of the TPPO and PPA Division at Bareskrim Polri (Indonesia’s Criminal Investigation Unit), on Monday (July 14, 2025).

Suspect Nabbed in Jakarta, Another Still on the Run

Police arrested one suspect, HR, in Jakarta on March 20, 2025. He played a big role in recruiting and sending victims overseas. But it didn’t stop there — another name came up: IR, who’s now officially a wanted fugitive (DPO) as of June 24, 2025.

“IR handled hotel bookings, ticket arrangements, and even dropped the victims off before they crossed into Myanmar. We've issued a warrant and informed all regional units to track him down,” added Nurul.

Here's What the Cops Seized:

• 6 passports

• 2 smartphones

• 2 bank account books

• 1 laptop

• 3 passenger manifests

HR will be handed over to the Bangka District Attorney’s Office on July 14, 2025, for legal processing.

Follow the Money: Police Teaming Up with PPATK

To trace the money flow behind the operation, police are working with PPATK (Indonesia’s financial intelligence agency). They’re also joining forces with the Foreign Ministry and Interpol unit at Polri to uncover more players hiding abroad.

“This case shows how traffickers keep inventing new tricks to lure and trap people. We urge everyone to be super careful with job offers, especially ones that seem too good to be true,” warned Brigjen Nurul.

Legal Charges and Penalties

The suspects are now facing some serious charges:

• Article 4 of Law No. 21/2007 on Human Trafficking — Up to 15 years in prison and fines up to Rp600 million

• Article 81 of Law No. 18/2017 on the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers

• Article 55 Paragraph (1) Point 1 of the Criminal Code (KUHP)

Quick Reminder for Everyone

If you're looking for jobs abroad, double-check everything. Make sure the agency is legit, licensed, and transparent. Don’t fall for random offers on social media or shady recruiters offering “easy money.”

Better safe than sorry, right?

Hey guys, If you’ve been keeping an eye on the political scene in Indonesia, here’s the latest buzz—Hasto Kristiyanto’s court hearing at the Central Jakarta District Court is heating up, and the authorities aren’t taking any chances. They just rolled out over a thousand cops to keep things under control. Yep, no joke.

Over 1,000 Officers on Guard

So here’s the deal. According to Central Jakarta Police Chief, Commissioner Susatyo Purnomo Condro, 1,082 police officers from Polda Metro Jaya, Central Jakarta Police, and local precincts have been deployed.

The mission? To secure the courtroom area and manage any public demonstrations that might pop up during the trial related to allegations of bribery and obstruction of justice.

Inside and Outside the Court—Everything Covered

Security isn't just about standing around outside the courthouse. Officers are also stationed inside the courtroom to make sure the trial runs safely and smoothly—no interruptions, no drama.

No Guns, Just Calm Vibes

Worried about heavy-handed cops? Don’t be. Commissioner Susatyo made it super clear—no firearms allowed for this mission. Instead, officers were told to handle everything in a humanistic and respectful way, but still stay firm if things go sideways.

“Serve the people expressing their opinions with respect and empathy,” he said, “but don’t forget to stay sharp and professional.”

Before things kicked off, there was a Tactical Wall Game (TWG) and a security roll call to prep the team and go over the game plan.

This trial isn’t just about one person—it’s about trust in the system. The way the police handle the situation reflects how serious the country is about justice and public safety. So whether you’re watching from the sidelines or planning to be near the courthouse, you’ll know the area’s in good hands.

Teen Gang Attack in Majalengka Leaves Man Hospitalized Police Nab Suspects Within Hours

Teen Gang Attack in Majalengka Leaves Man Hospitalized Police Nab Suspects Within Hours.

Majalengka, Indonesia – Things got out of hand on Saturday night (July 12, 2025) when a group of teenagers allegedly attacked a man with sharp weapons in Majalengka. The brutal assault left the victim seriously injured and in need of emergency medical care.

According to West Java Police spokesperson Kombes Pol Hendra Rochmawan, the attack happened out of the blue. The suspects reportedly ambushed the victim without warning and used bladed weapons during the assault.

“Luckily, our officers from Majalengka Police were on patrol nearby. They got a tip from locals and rushed to the scene. Within less than 24 hours, several of the attackers were caught along with the sharp weapons they used,” Hendra said on Sunday (July 13).

Three teenagers—initials R, AM, and Ms—were arrested and are currently being questioned by police. Cops also seized a car believed to be involved in the incident.

These young suspects are now facing serious charges under Indonesian law—specifically Article 351 in conjunction with Article 170 of the Criminal Code, which deals with group violence causing serious injury. If found guilty, they could be looking at up to 9 years in prison.

Meanwhile, the victim is still in the hospital under tight medical supervision. Police are urging the public not to take the law into their own hands.

“Let the legal system do its job. Vigilante justice only makes things worse,” Hendra added.

Why This Story Matters

This isn’t just another headline—it’s a reminder that teen violence is becoming way too common. What should’ve been a chill night turned into a life-threatening situation, and it involved teens who still have their whole futures ahead of them.

This case highlights the growing concern over youth aggression and how easily things can spiral when tempers flare and weapons are involved. It’s a wake-up call for parents, schools, and communities to step up and guide young people in the right direction.

What Can We Do About It?

• Parents & teachers: Stay in the loop with what your kids are up to. Talk to them, listen, guide.

• Communities: If you see something sketchy, speak up before it turns into something dangerous.

• Teens: Choose your circle wisely. Think before you act. One bad choice can change your whole life.
