A Majalengka resident, Linda Yuliana (28), is currently facing legal proceedings in Ethiopia after allegedly being framed for carrying narcotics. There, Linda is apparently facing the death penalty. Linda is a resident of Liangjulang Village, Kadipaten District, Majalengka. In Ethiopia, Linda has to deal with the law because she is suspected of being framed by a drug syndicate.[1]

The case began when Linda received an assignment to deliver a bag of chocolate to Laos. In Ethiopia, Linda was promised a job to melt gold. Instead of working as a gold melter, Linda was assigned to deliver chocolate to Laos. Without suspecting anything, Linda took the bag to the airport. Unfortunately, her assignment was suspected to be a trap for Linda. She was arrested at the Ethiopian airport after prohibited items were found in her bag, which she initially believed contained chocolate.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The Islamic belief that Ramadan is the month of the Koran seems to have inspired police officers in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province. The Central Lombok Regency Police Department (Polres) has begun implementing new methods of enforcing traffic laws. Central Lombok Police Chief AKBP Iwan Hidayat said he termed the method a "syariah ticket". He initiated this with the aim of providing a more humane approach to traffic violators on the road.[1]

Head of the Central Lombok Police Traffic Unit, AKP Puteh Rinaldi, explained that sharia tickets would be given to traffic violators under certain conditions. For those who claim to be able to recite the Koran properly and correctly, they will not be subject to ordinary fines. The violators were actually challenged to read verses from the Islamic holy book. "If violators can read or recite the Koran properly and correctly, then they will not be ticketed". "In contrary, we gave punishment in the form of a challenge to read verses from the holy Koran," said AKP Puteh, quoted by Republika from the official Korlantas Polri website.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Three Australian citizens (WN) were fined IDR 6 million and blacklisted by the Mount Rinjani National Park Office (TNGR). The reason is, the 3 foreigners climbed Mount Rinjani when it was closed. Strict sanctions were given to the three climbers from Australia after they dared to climb illegally via the Sembalun climbing tourist route. In fact, Mount Rinjani is currently still in the ecosystem recovery period. "The three of them were officially blacklisted for climbing for five years and were subject to a fine of IDR 6 million for all three," said the Head of the TNGR Hall, Yarman in his official statement.[1]

Yarman explained that TNGR Hall officers initially detected the presence of three foreign climbers in Plawangan Sembalun via closed-circuit television (CCTV) recording, Sunday (2/3/2025) at around 16.30 WITA. They were determined to carry out an illegal climb via the Bawak Nao route or Kandang Sapi in the middle of the night at around 00.00 WITA. TNGR Hall officers who received the report at 14.30 WITA immediately coordinated with the team and the WCM Working Group to provide guard at the Bawak Nao exit. However, the three climbers did not descend until 23.00 WITA.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, is offering a "gold card" visa to wealthy foreign nationals who wish to become US citizens. The visa can be redeemed for IDR 82 billion (US$5 million). "They will be rich and successful, and they will spend a lot of money, pay a lot of taxes, and employ a lot of people. We think it will be very successful," Trump said at the White House. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the proposed "gold card" would replace the EB-5 visa scheme that offers visas to foreign investors.[1]

What is Trump proposing? Trump did not mention at all that people who receive these visas must create jobs. "The ones who deserve it are the people with the money," he said. Despite the limited number of EB-5 visas, Trump wants his administration to sell 10 million "gold cards" to reduce the deficit. He said the visa "could be amazing, it would probably be fantastic."[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The Nauru government is offering citizenship to foreigners to raise funding because it is threatened with drowning due to rising sea levels caused by the climate crisis. The announcement was made directly by Nauru President David Adeang. The President said that the Nauru Government had opened a "golden passport" scheme for foreigners who wanted to buy citizenship of the island country in the Pacific region.[1]

Each passport is priced at 105,000 US dollars or around IDR. 1.7 billion for one person, as reported by The Guardian. In return, buyers of the Nauru passport get visa-free access to 89 countries including the UK, Ireland, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Singapore. The proceeds from the "citizenship sale" will be used to relocate 90 percent of its citizens deeper into the island because sea levels have eroded its coast.[2]

"For Nauru, this is not just about adapting to climate change, but about securing a sustainable and prosperous future for future generations," Adeang told AFP.  He said that the "selling citizenship" strategy was not just for survival. "This is about ensuring future generations have safe, resilient and sustainable homes. We are ready for the journey ahead," said Adeang.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

The story of Yasmin, Who Became a Victim of Investment Fraud

Yasmin said that Dwi Rahayu came with a tempting offer to invest in building a rest area in the YIA Airport area. Even though she initially refused, pressure from her wife, who was influenced by Dwi Rahayu's advances, made Yasmin finally get caught in the fraud scheme.[1]

Yasmin, who is a former teacher, also only received the remaining salary of around IDR 400 thousand instead of IDR 4 million. "I only received 10 percent of my IDR 4.5 million salary, now I only receive IDR 450 thousand," said Yasmin. Although hope was raised when the pension portion increased to IDR 750 thousand per month in January 2025, this amount is still far from enough to meet the living needs of an elderly person.[2]

The victim of Dwi Rahayu's fraud was not only Yasmin Istono. Many other retirees, including Ngatinem from Kulonprogo, experienced the same thing. Based on the data collected, more than 100 retired TNI (Indonesian National Army), Polri (National Police), teachers, civil servants and widows have become victims of the Persit (Army Wives Association) elements, with total losses reaching IDR 26.7 billion.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

Indonesia now officially has Pegadaian Gold Bank Services and Indonesian Sharia Bank, which were inaugurated directly by President Prabowo Subianto at The Gade Tower, Jakarta, on Wednesday, February 26 2025. This inauguration is a historic moment for national gold management, in line with the increase in Indonesia's gold production which has now reached 160 tons per year. "Today, approaching 80 years of our independence, we are proud that for the first time in the history of the Indonesian nation, which has the sixth largest gold reserves in the world, it will have a gold bank for the first time," said President Prabowo in his speech. This gold bank service is expected to accelerate people's gold savings, increase the country's gold reserves, and strengthen monetary stability. According to the President, this step will increase Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by IDR 245 trillion, open 1.8 million new jobs, and save the country's foreign exchange by ensuring that gold is processed and stored domestically. "We hope this will accelerate savings and increase our gold reserves," said the President.[1]

Apart from that, the presence of gold banking services will also support the gold liquidation mechanism for national banks and make domestic gold transactions easier. President Prabowo believes this policy will strengthen the national economic structure and increase Indonesia's financial independence. President Prabowo also emphasized that this inauguration was the result of hard work by various parties over many years. President Prabowo also appreciated the hard work of all parties involved in creating the first gold bank in Indonesia. “I would like to thank all the elements who have worked hard. My appreciation goes to the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, the Minister of BUMN, all directors of Himbara banks, directors of Pegadaian, Bank Syariah Indonesia and all those who have worked hard so that today we have a service ecosystem for the Pegadaian gold bank and Bank Syariah Indonesia, which is the first gold bank in our republic," said the President.[2]

With the inauguration of the Pegadaian Gold Bank and Indonesian Sharia Bank Services, Indonesia has further strengthened its position as one of the countries with the largest gold management in the world, while strengthening national economic sovereignty. Also present at the event were ambassadors from friendly countries, Red and White Cabinet Ministers, TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, BI Governor Perry Warjiyo, Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) Mahendra Siregar, President Director of PT.
