6 Facts About Bareskrim Handing Over Rp58.1 Billion from the Judol Case to the State
Funds amounting to Rp 58.1 billion were handed over by the Directorate of Cyber Crime (Dittipidsiber) of the Bareskrim Polri to be executed by the prosecutors. The money was surrendered to the state from a case of money laundering (TPPU) involving online gambling (judol) that has now obtained binding legal force (inkrah).
According to detikcom’s summary on Friday 6 March 2026, Brigadier General Himawan Bayu Aji, head of the Dittipidsiber Bareskrim Polri, described the handover as an implementation of Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) No. 1 of 2013 concerning the Procedure for Resolving Applications for Handling Assets in Money Laundering or Other Crimes.
‘The Cyber Directorate of Bareskrim Polri is conducting strategic activities in the form of handover of the results of asset execution to the state,’ said Himawan at a press conference at Bareskrim Polri, South Jakarta.
The following are the facts:
- Developments from PPATK Report
Himawan said the disclosure of online gambling and TPPU cases was developed from the Financial Transaction Reporting and Analysis Centre (PPATK) analysis report. He said the report was followed up by the Dittipidsiber Bareskrim Polri with blocking measures.
‘We must emphasise that today’s asset execution is a concrete follow-up to the analysis report or LHA (Laporan Hasil Analisis) provided by PPATK to the Dittipidsiber Bareskrim Polri,’ said Himawan.
Himawan said the online gambling offences have harmed the national economy. He noted that applying Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2013 regarding the detention of assets in money laundering crimes, particularly online gambling, is an important part of law enforcement.
Himawan said the assets handed over originated from the actions on 16 police reports (LPs) relating to the TPPU case stemming from online gambling. The Rp 58 billion came from 133 accounts.
‘With the total asset value handed over to the state via the Attorney General’s Office, today amounting to Rp 58,183,165,803 from 133 accounts,’ he said.
He said the handling of online gambling and TPPU cases is conducted by Bareskrim together with other ministries and agencies. He stressed that the Police are serious about tackling online gambling.
‘The success of today’s asset execution is strong evidence of inter-ministerial/agency synergy. This synergy ensures that the legal process for online gambling crimes remains a concern for all of us,’ he added.
- Bareskrim Urges Banks to Tighten Account Openings
Dittipidsiber Bareskrim Polri continues efforts to eradicate judol in Indonesia. Not only targeting operators and organisers, police now focus on cutting off the flow of funds or operational financial transactions of the crime.
Brigadier General Himawan Bayu Aji said the banking sector plays a vital role in this prevention strategy. Therefore, he asked banks to tighten account-opening procedures and heighten vigilance against suspicious transaction patterns.
‘We emphasise that cooperation with banks is crucial, especially in the preventive function,’ said Himawan.
‘We expect banks to tighten account-opening procedures by implementing Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) principles strictly and comprehensively,’ said Himawan.
Himawan also urged that no bank accounts should escape oversight and be used as operational channels for gambling. Accordingly, he said, a bank early warning system is a crucial instrument to limit the space for perpetrators.
‘Banks are expected to have an early warning system to close off the space for actors trying to abuse our financial system,’ he added.
Separately, Himawan revealed that the Police have reached a new agreement with banks to expedite the investigative process into online gambling cases. The examination of suspects’ accounts, which are usually spread across multiple bank branches, can now be centralised.
‘Thus, the process of examining accounts implicated in gambling crimes can now be carried out more efficiently.’
‘We have indeed reached an agreement that examinations of scattered accounts used by gambling criminals can be conducted in one place, namely the head office,’ said Himawan.
He said the agreement is a very good form of synergy and a concrete solution to speed up handling of online gambling cases that are often hampered by cross-regional bureaucracy.
- Bareskrim Blocks 40 Judol-Holding Accounts with Rp1.6 Billion
The Dittipidsiber Bareskrim Polri blocked 40 accounts that housed judol transactions. The accounts were detected by PPATK.
Brigadier General Himawan Bayu Aji said PPATK provided the analysis report (LHA) to Bareskrim Polri and it was followed up with investigations and blocking. The accounts were detected under names of individuals not linked to the judol network.
‘Data still in the blocking process amounts to Rp 1,678,002,710 from 40 accounts,’ said Himawan.
Himawan explained that there were 51 LHAs from the operations of 132 judol sites handed to Bareskrim Polri. Then, 5,961 accounts were temporarily halted with a value of Rp 255,757,671,888.
Himawan said they seized Rp 142,017,116,090 from 359 accounts. In addition, Rp 58,183,165,803 from 133 accounts had been handed over to the prosecutors for execution and remittance to the state.
‘We have followed up the LHA into 27 police reports. Of these, 11 police reports from 21 LHAs are still under investigation. Currently, 16 police reports from 20 LHAs have been resolved up to court decisions or are already legally binding,’ he explained.
He said there are Rp 97 billion in transactions still being processed. He hopes the cases can be completed.
