Bareskrim Affirms Commitment to Eradicate Online Gambling to Its Roots

Wakabareskrim Polri Irjen Nunung Syaifudin has affirmed the commitment to eradicate online gambling to its roots. Nunung stated that his team will continue to hunt down and dismantle online gambling networks in Indonesia.

“Polri affirms its commitment to continue eradicating online gambling practices to their roots, including dismantling international networks operating within the jurisdiction of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia,” Nunung said during a press conference at the Bareskrim building in South Jakarta on Friday (26/6/2026).

This statement was made following the progress report on the investigation into the online gambling headquarters on Jalan Hayam Wuruk, West Jakarta. A total of 287 foreign nationals have been named as suspects in this case.

Nunung stated that the investigation into the Hayam Wuruk online gambling case will not stop at naming suspects and seizing evidence. Bareskrim will investigate alleged money laundering offences linked to the gambling base.

“This investigation, as you should know, will not stop here. We will continue to develop this case to trace the flow of funds, criminal assets, the role of the companies guaranteeing the foreign nationals, and to target possible money laundering offences,” he said.

Brigadier General Wira Satya Triputra, Director of General Crimes at Bareskrim, also guaranteed that the investigation will not end with the naming of 287 foreign nationals as suspects. He stated that investigators will trace the flow of funds from the syndicate, which allegedly managed 145 gambling websites with deposits totalling Rp 13.9 trillion.

“We, the Indonesian National Police, in this case Bareskrim, declare our commitment to continue developing this case and will uncover the network, including the flow of funds and criminal assets, as well as the parties acting as guarantors, and based on the data and further developments, we will apply money laundering charges,” he said.
