Abstract

Online social gathering (arisan) is an activity in which a group of individuals contributes money or goods of equal value, which are then distributed through periodic draws until all members receive their share as agreed. With technological developments, arisan is no longer limited to face-to-face meetings but is also conducted through digital platforms, commonly referred to as online arisan. While this system offers convenience, flexibility, and broader reach, it also creates opportunities for fraudulent practices that cause significant losses to participants. The main issues in this research are how law enforcement is carried out against perpetrators of online arisan fraud within the jurisdiction of the Riau Regional Police, how the implementation of law enforcement is conducted by law enforcement officers, what inhibiting factors are encountered, and how efforts can be taken to prevent similar cases from recurring in the future. The research method used is an empirical juridical approach with a descriptive qualitative nature. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with investigators from Sub-Directorate V of Cybercrime, Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation at the Riau Regional Police, as well as a criminal law expert. Secondary data were sourced from literature studies, statutory regulations, and relevant official documents. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively using a deductive method, resulting in logical and measurable conclusions. The findings indicate that law enforcement is carried out through two main stages: preventive and repressive measures. Preventive efforts include socialization programs, legal education, and public awareness campaigns to reduce the risk of online arisan fraud. Repressive measures involve investigation, inquiry, arrest of perpetrators, seizure of evidence, and case transfer to the prosecutor’s office. The main obstacles identified are low legal awareness among the public, limited reporting by victims, and technical challenges in collecting electronic evidence. This study recommends strengthening digital literacy, enhancing coordination among law enforcement agencies, and optimizing the use of information technology to improve effectiveness in uncovering similar criminal acts.
