Gambling Cases that Drag the Names of Public Figures

Gambling is indeed a topic of endless discussion. There are always cases or scandals about gambling that not only ordinary people can experience. They, public figures , cannot escape from the snare of gambling as is usually offered on gambling sites. Like a series of scandals & gambling cases that drag the names of the following public figures .

The Gambling Cases that Drag Nikita Mirzani

Who does not know this controversial artist. At the end of 2019, Nikita Mirzani, or commonly called Niki, was involved in a series of scandals & online gambling cases. This case first appeared after a report from a man who claimed to be an advocate named Daniel Heri Pasaribu. 

Daniel reported Niki because Niki was suspected of advertising online gambling through his Instagram account. He deliberately made an endorsement which reportedly contained gambling content. According to Daniel, Niki has clearly violated Article 27 of the ITE Law. Anyone who violates this article can be subject to a prison sentence of 6 years or a fine of 1 billion in cash.

The Polda Metro Jaya responded to Daniel’s report. As part of the investigation, Daniel was also questioned for 3 hours by the Polda Metro Jaya investigation team.

Jokowi Watch’s Support for Daniel’s Actions

It seems that Daniel’s report has the full support of Tigor Doris Sitorus or familiarly called Bang Tigor. He really hopes that this case will be investigated thoroughly so that there will be no more gambling practices in our society. 

Bang Tigor also expressed his opinion that Niki could be a resource to uncover various cases related to gambling agents who are still free to run their business in Indonesia.

Bang Tigor at the same time wanted the police to break the many assumptions circulating in the community. He said that most of the people considered that there were many elements from the police who were backing the betting agents in Indonesia. 

This assumption arises because of the prevalence of gambling in Indonesia; as if there was an omission from the police. So, through this case, at least it can be a means of proving that the police are ‘clean’ from the gambling business intervention. 

The Dinar Candy’s Gambling Cases

The name DJ Dinar Candy may not be too familiar, except for those of you who like the EDM music genre. Dinar Candy has recently returned viral after being dragged into gambling case that caught him. At first someone reported this beautiful DJ for one of the contents on his Instagram account. The reporter said that the endorsement conducted by DJ Dinar Candy contained elements of gambling.

DJ Dinar Candy himself doesn’t know anything about the gambling cases that dragged his name. Even when asked for an explanation by the police, he admitted that what he had done was just an ordinary endorsement . 

DJ Dinar Candy also emphasized that he had absolutely no idea that the online soccer game he was promoting was actually gambling. The reason is, he was only asked to promote the soccer games from the advertiser. The party who asked him to do an endorsement did not inform anything related to gambling.

As a result of the case he is currently facing, it has been a few days since DJ Dinar Candy could use his ATM card. Apparently his ATM card had been blocked by the police. After following the advice of the bank to take care of blocking his ATM card, Dinar then immediately visited the police. From here he just learned that his ATM blockage apparently had something to do with a gambling endorsement case.

Through his attorney, Yeslin stated that he could no longer stand Delon’s hobby of gambling. Apart from not being given physical and mental support, Yeslin also regretted Delon’s attitude that he owed money only to get capital to play gambling.

Another fact that is no less surprising from the series of scandals & gambling cases that dragged Delon Thamrin’s name is that Delon has to bear a debt of approximately 1 billion. Because he did not have enough assets to pay off his debt, Yeslin ended up using his savings to pay Delon’s debt. He now has no more savings.

Delon-Yeslin is a very good match. The two of them decided to say the holy promise after only 3 months of their dating. A year after getting married, Yeslin found out that Delon’s passion is gambling. Most of the time he spent gambling. Don’t be imitated, guys.
