Bareskrim Names Four Indonesians as Suspects in Hayam Wuruk Online Gambling Operations

The Directorate of General Crimes (Dittipidum) at Bareskrim Polri has named four Indonesian citizens as suspects for their involvement in an international online gambling network operating from Hayam Wuruk Plaza Tower, Jakarta. ‘The operational activities are suspected to resemble a network system for managing sites, serving players, marketing services, and arranging financial transactions,’ said Brigadier General Wira Satya Triputra, Director of General Crimes at Bareskrim Polri, on Friday. He explained that the first suspect, identified as MAP, served as a financial administrator under the network’s leader. ‘MAP was also arrested at the Hayam Wuruk building,’ he said. The next suspect, DFA, was responsible for preparing bank accounts and ATM cards for the gambling operations. ‘The ATM cards were handed over to suspect MAP, and were under the name of suspect LTH, who is still at large,’ he added. He also noted that an account belonging to DFA was used to support the gambling operations, a fact uncovered through tracing by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK). The final suspect, DA, assisted in providing financial facilities for the operations by preparing ATM cards and aiding in cryptocurrency exchanges. DA also helped arrange residence permits for hundreds of foreign nationals involved in the gambling ring at Hayam Wuruk. Regarding LTH, who is currently being pursued, Wira stated that the suspect is a foreign national who acted as a coordinator alongside another suspect, BT. ‘LTH’s position can be described as one of the coordinators of all activities on the 20th and 21st floors,’ he said. ‘Based on witness examinations, it is possible that LTH had direct access to the leader based abroad.’ The case was uncovered on 7 May 2026, following a public tip-off. The suspects are charged under Article 426 and/or Article 607 in conjunction with Article 20 and/or Article 21 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, as well as Law Number 1 of 2026 concerning Criminal Adjustments.
