According to a written statement from Judha Nugraha, the Director of the Protection of Indonesian Nationals Abroad (PWNI) at the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jakarta on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, the two Indonesian nationals were suspected of operating a restaurant business without a license.
