Bareskrim Hands Over Rp58.1 Billion in Proceeds from Online Gambling Case for Execution by Prosecutors
The Directorate of Cyber Crime (Dittipidsiber) of the Indonesian National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) handed over Rp58.1 billion related to a money-laundering (TPPU) case arising from online gambling (judol) for execution by prosecutors. The funds were handed over because the case had reached final and binding status (inkrah).
Brigadier General Himawan Bayu Aji of Dittipidsiber said the handover was an implementation of Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) Number 1 of 2013 concerning the Procedures for Handling Assets in Money Laundering Crimes or Other Crimes.
“The Cyber Directorate of Bareskrim Polri is carrying out a strategic activity in the form of handing over the assets resulting from enforcement for the state,” Himawan said at a press conference at Bareskrim Polri, South Jakarta, on Thursday (5 March 2026).
Himawan said the exposure of the online gambling case and TPPU was an elaboration of the results of an analysis report from the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK). He said the report was followed up by Dittipidsiber Bareskrim Polri by blocking actions.
“We emphasise that asset execution today is a concrete follow-up to the analysis report or LHA provided by PPATK to the Directorate of Cyber Crime Bareskrim Polri,” Himawan said.
Himawan noted that online gambling crimes have harmed the national economy. He stated that the application of Perma Number 1 of 2013 related to asset seizure in money-laundering crimes, especially online gambling, is an important part of law enforcement.
Himawan added that the assets handed over originated from actions on 16 police reports (LPs) related to TPPU cases from online gambling. The Rp58 billion came from 133 accounts.
“With the total asset value handed over to the state through the Attorney General’s Office, today amounting to Rp58,183,165,803 from 133 accounts,” he said.
He also said that 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 cases.
“The success of asset execution today is strong evidence of inter-ministerial/agency synergy. This synergy ensures that the legal processes against online gambling crimes remain a shared concern for us all,” he concluded.
