The Cyber Crime Directorate (Dittipidsiber) of the Indonesian National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim Polri) handed over seized assets from an online gambling case and a money-laundering offence, worth Rp 58.183 billion, to the Attorney General’s Office (Kejaksaan Agung) for execution. Bareskrim described this as a form of support for government programmes.

“The Siber Directorate of Bareskrim Polri carried out a strategic activity consisting of handing over the results of execution objects relating to assets seized for the state,” said Brig. Gen. Himawan Bayu Aji, Head of Dittipidsiber Bareskrim Polri, at a press conference at Bareskrim Polri in South Jakarta, reported on Friday (6 March 2026).

Himawan said the disclosure of the online gambling and TPPU cases was an expansion of the financial-analysis reports produced by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK). He said the reports were followed up by Dittipidsiber Bareskrim Polri with blocking actions.

Himawan noted that online gambling has harmed the national economy. He stated that the assets handed over originated from actions against 16 police reports (LP) related to TPPU cases 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 that the surrender of seized funds from the online gambling and TPPU cases is a form of support by the police to government programmes. He emphasised that the police are serious about eradicating online gambling.

“The execution of court decisions is the police’s commitment to supporting the government’s priority programme concerning the optimalisation of asset recovery arising from criminal activity, particularly online gambling. We realise that online gambling offences have harmed the national economic order,” Himawan said.

The Attorney General’s Office (Kejagung) then deposited the Rp 58.1 billion sourced from the TPPU and online gambling case into the state treasury. Senior Principal Prosecutor in the Jampidum working unit of Kejagung, Muttaqin Harahap, stated that the deposit demonstrates the success of the law-enforcement collaboration between the investigators of Dittipidisiber Bareskrim Polri and the Executing Prosecutor.

“We as the Executing Prosecutor in the implementation of court decisions that have permanent legal force, today have also received around 58 billion and have deposited it into the state treasury,” Muttaqin said.

He noted that every rupiah of asset proceeds from criminal acts is managed transparently. The seized funds from online gambling and TPPU were recorded as Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP).

“The Attorney General’s Office ensures that every asset seized by investigators, particularly from Bareskrim Polri, has been deposited into the state treasury as an optimisation of non-tax state revenue (PNBP),” Muttaqin explained.
