Criminal Investigation Agency Seizes Three Offices and One Shophouse from DSI in Fraud Case
The Directorate of Special Economic Crimes at the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) has seized three offices and a shophouse belonging to PT Dana Syariah Indonesia (DSI). The seizures are connected to allegations of fraud, embezzlement and payment default committed by the company.
Director of Special Economic Crimes Brigadier General Ade Safri Simanjuntak said the seizures were carried out on Wednesday (18 February). The process was accompanied by representatives of the building management and the legal counsel of suspect Taufiq Aljufri.
“The National Police has carried out the seizure of assets linked to the PT DSI case, comprising two PT DSI office units (units A and J) located at District 8, Prosperity Tower, 12th Floor, Jalan Jenderal Sudirman,” Ade Safri said in a statement on Friday (20 February 2026).
Investigators subsequently conducted a further seizure of a PT DSI office at the same location, along with one shophouse owned by a company affiliated with PT DSI.
“On Thursday (19 February), the investigation team carried out additional seizures of one PT DSI office unit (unit B) at the same location, as well as one shophouse unit owned by a company affiliated with PT DSI,” Ade Safri continued.
Ade Safri confirmed that all seizure activities were conducted as part of asset tracing and safeguarding efforts for evidentiary purposes and the recovery of victims’ losses.
“All processes were carried out in a professional, transparent and accountable manner,” he concluded.
In this case, Bareskrim has designated a total of three individuals as suspects: PT DSI President Director Taufiq Aljufri, former PT DSI Director Mery Yuniarni, and PT DSI Commissioner Arie Rizal Lesmana.
Ade Safri explained that the fraud was perpetrated by PT DSI through the creation of fictitious projects. These fictitious projects were constructed using the data of existing investment recipients (borrowers), misrepresented as though they had new projects.
It is reported that at least 15,000 lenders fell victim to the alleged criminal activity, with total losses reaching Rp 2.4 trillion over the period 2018–2025.
As a result of their actions, the three suspects have been charged under Articles 488, 486 and 492 of the Criminal Code, Article 45A Paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 28 Paragraph (1) of the Electronic Information and Transactions Law, Article 299 of the Financial Sector Development and Strengthening Law, and Article 607 Paragraph (1) letters a, b and c of the Criminal Code.
