Directorate of Cyber Crime (Dittipidsiber) of the Indonesian National\nPolice\u2019s Bareskrim has handed over cash amounting to Rp 58.1 billion,\nrelated to a money-laundering case from online gambling (judol), to be\nexecuted by prosecutors. The handover was conducted under Supreme Court\nRegulation (Perma) No.\u00a01 of 2013.<\/p>\n
Perma 1\/2013 sets out procedures for handling assets related to money\nlaundering and other crimes. Article 1 of Perma 1\/2013 provides that\nrequests for handling assets are to be submitted by investigators when\nthe suspected offender is not found, as regulated in Law No.\u00a08\/2010 on\nthe Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering.<\/p>\n
Under Article 10 of Perma 1\/2013, the Supreme Court states that\njudges may determine assets linked to money laundering or other crimes\nas state assets or return them to the rightful owner. The excerpt of the\nruling is then forwarded to the requesting investigators and to the\nAttorney General\u2019s Office for execution.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Cyber Crime Directorate of Bareskrim Polri is carrying out a\nstrategic activity, namely the handover of the execution object assets\nthat have been seized for the state,\u201d said Brig. Gen.\u00a0Himawan Bayu Aji,\nhead of the Dittipidsiber at Bareskrim Polri, at a press conference in\nBareskrim Polri, South Jakarta, Friday (6\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
Himawan said the investigation into online gambling and TPPU\nrepresents a development of the analysis results from the Financial\nTransaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK). He noted that online\ngambling offences have harmed the national economy.<\/p>\n
He described the application of Supreme Court Regulation No.\u00a01 of\n2013 related to asset seizure in money laundering crimes, particularly\nonline gambling, as a crucial part of law enforcement. He said the\nassets handed over stemmed from the results of 16 police reports (LPs)\nrelated to TPPU from online gambling.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the total value of assets handed over to the state via the\nAttorney General\u2019s Office today amounting to Rp 58,183,165,803 from 133\naccounts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
PPATK Praises Bareskrim for Using Perma 1\/2013<\/p>\n
The Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK)\ncommended Dittipidsiber Bareskrim Polri for using Supreme Court\nRegulation No.\u00a01 of 2013 to seize online gambling assets and deposit\nthem directly into the state treasury. Deputy on Analysis and\nExamination at PPATK, Danang Triharto, described the move as a good\nlegal breakthrough.<\/p>\n
\u201cPerma 1 of 2013 related to online gambling that reaches the state\ntreasury is the first case. So this is the first case related to online\ngambling,\u201d Danang said.<\/p>\n
Danang assesses that the application of this Perma provides a\nsolution to the challenge of prosecuting online gambling operators who\noften use other people\u2019s identities or loan accounts. In practice, he\nsaid, online gambling operators frequently use deposit accounts in other\npeople\u2019s names to hold betting funds. This makes it difficult for law\nenforcement to identify the actual perpetrators (beneficial owners)\nbehind those accounts.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, if you understand, all of this money comes from deposit gambling\naccounts that use other people\u2019s accounts. In other words, the actual\nperpetrators were not found,\u201d Danang explained.<\/p>\n
He said authorities frequently face difficulties because suspects are\nunclear, yet the illicit assets are real. He regarded regular legal\nmechanisms as difficult to apply. Danang described Perma 1\/2013 as the\nmost appropriate instrument.<\/p>\n
Danang praised the asset seizure\u2019s success as a good step in cracking\ndown on online gambling cases. According to him, the success proves that\ninter-agency synergy can overcome administrative obstacles and\ndifferences in legal interpretation that have long hindered\nprogress.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, this initial stage will continue to subsequent cases,\nwhere we acknowledge that online gambling still occurs,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bareskrim-breakthrough-rp-58-1-billion-from-online-gambling-case-now-in-state-treasury-1772784235", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
