Bareskrim Reveals 21 Websites Affiliated with Online Gambling Network with Evidence Worth Rp 55 Billion

The Cyber Crime Directorate of the Indonesian National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency has dismantled an online gambling (judol) case with total evidence amounting to Rp 55 billion. Bareskrim has identified 21 websites. According to information received by detikcom on Sunday (29/3/2026), these 21 websites were identified and uncovered through intensive cyber patrols. The 21 websites are affiliated within a single network. The modus operandi used by the perpetrators is also organised. The perpetrators conduct operations and manage fund flows through various bank accounts and companies, as well as the use of digital payment facilities or payment gateways. Previously, the Cyber Crime Directorate of Bareskrim Polri completed the investigation of an online gambling (judol) case with evidence worth Rp 55 billion. The case files implicating several suspects have been declared complete (P21) by prosecutors from the Republic of Indonesia Attorney General’s Office. “After the case files are declared complete or P21, we will immediately carry out stage II, namely the handover of suspects along with evidence to the public prosecutor. The total evidence to be handed over consists of money amounting to Rp 55 billion, which is the proceeds from online gambling activities,” said the Head of Subdirectorate I of the Cyber Criminal Directorate of Bareskrim Polri, Commissioner Rizki Prakoso, in his statement on Saturday (28/3). This case originated from Police Report Number LP/A/20/VI/2025/SPKT/BARESKRIM POLRI on 5 June 2025. In the investigation process, the police determined several suspects divided into three case files, namely suspect with initials MNF, suspect QF et al., and suspect WK. The certainty of the completeness of the files is contained in three letters from the Republic of Indonesia Attorney General’s Office dated 13 March 2026, stating that the investigation results have met formal and material requirements. According to Rizki, with the case files declared complete, the legal process now enters the stage of handing over suspects and evidence. He assured that his side has conducted intensive coordination with prosecutors to ensure the handover process runs smoothly in accordance with applicable legal provisions. The handover of suspects and evidence worth Rp 55 billion is planned to take place on Tuesday, 31 March 2026, at the South Jakarta District Prosecutor’s Office. Commissioner Rizki emphasised that the uncovering of this case is part of the Indonesian National Police’s commitment to eradicating online gambling practices, which are deemed to disturb the public and have the potential to damage social and economic order. He hopes that with the transfer of the case to the prosecution stage, the judicial process can proceed immediately and provide legal certainty for the suspects as well as justice for the public.
