Jakarta: The Indonesian government has arrested 170 foreigners from 27 countries during immigration operations conducted from May 14 to May 16 across Greater Jakarta, covering Jakarta, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi, the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections said on Friday.
The foreigners are suspected of violating Indonesia's Immigration Law. They could face up to five years in prison plus fine.
The operation targeted apartments, cafes and shopping centers, marking the third major sweep this year, following similar actions in Bali, North Maluku, and the industrial zones of Morowali and Tobelo.
