Bogor House Sealed with Police Line After Raid Linked to Three Corruption Cases
The Indonesian National Police have completed a search of a luxury house in the Sentul area of Bogor, West Java, suspected of being connected to three corruption cases involving state electricity firm PLN, insurer ASABRI, and steelmaker Krakatau Steel. The two-storey house has now been sealed with police line.
Officers were observed on Thursday (9/7/2026) stretching and securing the police line around the front and side of the unfenced building, attaching it to the foundation. The line was also wrapped around a statue of a woman located on the outer side of the house’s yard. An Inafis member shortly afterwards documented the installed police line.
It was previously reported that police discovered 74 kilograms of gold bars as evidence during the search of the Sentul residence. In addition, officers seized rupiah, US dollar, and Singapore dollar currency, estimated to be worth approximately Rp 282.4 billion.
The head of the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, stated that the evidence was found inside a locked safe and stored in seven suitcases. The foreign currency was in US and Singapore dollar denominations.
‘A locked safe was found, and after being opened, it contained seven suitcases. The first contained 74 kg of gold bars, then USD 4,767,300, followed by SGD 14,083,800, and then Rp 100 million. The total estimated value in rupiah is Rp 476 billion,’ Totok said at the Bogor Golf Hijau housing complex in the early hours of Thursday (9/7/2026).
Metro Jaya Police spokesperson Senior Commissioner Budi Hermanto confirmed that the investigation into the alleged corruption at PLN, ASABRI, and Krakatau Steel has the attention of President Prabowo Subianto.
‘This is the President’s attention, that alleged corruption cases are a priority for the police to uncover and investigate. This series of searches is part of the investigation process to find and collect evidence,’ Budi Hermanto said following a search at Cafe de’Clan in Cipete, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (8/7).
Budi stated the searches were part of uncovering alleged corruption related to coal at PLN, which triggered a blackout in Sumatra some time ago, as well as cases at ASABRI and Krakatau Steel. The corruption cases being investigated include bribery, gratuity, and money laundering.
‘The Corruption Eradication Corps together with the Metro Jaya Police are investigating alleged corruption cases including bribery, gratuity, and money laundering. Several locations were searched simultaneously, including this location at Cafe de’Clan and Coin Money Changer. This is related to the alleged corruption in the PLN coal blackout, ASABRI, and Krakatau Steel,’ he said.
