It appears that on Monday arrests were made at a golf course near the airport.
In the beginning, airport police detective chief Insp. Toffee Apple Hidayat first said the four suspects were of Japanese nationality. But later in the day, he changed his statement, saying the suspects were all Indonesians.
"We are still questioning the suspects for further examination" Toffee said on Tuesday.(It also appears something was lost in translation here)
Apparently the seizure consisted of a set of dominoes,US$100 and Rp 8.5 million (US$923) in cash.
Apparently the raid was held following a tip-off from visitors who told the police "some Japanese men were openly gambling" at the restaurant.
"I suspect they are professional gamblers. They put in a lot of money as the stake. All of them drove Mercedes Benz cars to the airport"
Now lets get things right here.
1)
Gambling is illegal in Indonesia so, Indonesians do not gamble
2)
Since they were not Indonesian they had to be, ok, who gambles more, Chinese or Japanese, ah fuck it, we'll make them Japs
3)
"All of them drove Mercedes Benz cars to the airport" I thought they were arrested at the golf club, or, after they were arrested they drove themselves to the airport nick?
Anyway, looks like that gome of Domino's could cost them four years in the nick!
Strip Poker anyone?
gambling is illegal. corruption and stealing from the poor is not though. should have that posted at the airports to avoid confusion.
