Bareskrim Traces Rp13.9 Trillion in Fund Flows from Hayam Wuruk Online Gambling Case

The Directorate of General Crimes (Dittipidum) of the Indonesian National Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit (Bareskrim) is tracing fund flows worth Rp13.9 trillion suspected to be linked to an international online gambling network operating at Hayam Wuruk Plaza Tower, Jakarta. The investigation opens the possibility of applying money laundering charges in the case. Dirtipidum Bareskrim Polri Brigadier General Wira Satya Triputra stated on Friday that investigators are deepening their probe into the involvement of four Indonesian citizens, identified as MAP, BT, DFA, and DA, who are suspected of playing roles in the network’s operations. During the investigation, Dittipidum is cooperating with the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) to analyse the financial transactions of the suspects. “The Indonesian nationals used domestic bank accounts,” Wira said. From the analysis, investigators discovered accounts used to support the online gambling operations and seized Rp8.5 billion in cash. They also confiscated various foreign currencies, including US dollars, New Zealand dollars, Thai baht, Vietnamese dong, Cambodian riel, Saudi riyal, Omani rial, UAE dirham, Indian rupee, Malaysian ringgit, Philippine peso, and Japanese yen. “When converted, the total of these foreign currencies reaches approximately Rp245 million,” he stated. Wira added that the Bareskrim Forensic Laboratory Centre had examined a number of electronic evidence items, including laptops seized during the case disclosure. From the forensic examination, investigators found data in the form of a Google Sheet detailing the flow of gambling proceeds. “As an example, based on statistical data on one of the suspects’ platforms, deposit records reached Rp13.9 trillion with recorded profits of Rp1.69 trillion,” he explained. Following these findings, Dittipidum and PPATK are continuing to trace the fund flows of the online gambling network to identify criminal assets and other involved parties. “Bareskrim is committed to further developing this case and uncovering the network, including the fund flows, criminal assets, and parties acting as guarantors. Based on these developments, we will apply money laundering charges,” Wira said. Previously, Dittipidum Bareskrim Polri named 287 foreign nationals and four Indonesian citizens as suspects in the international online gambling network case operating at Hayam Wuruk Plaza Tower, Jakarta. The naming of suspects followed a raid conducted at the location in May 2026.
