Dude Harlino Hands Over Rp5.25 Billion Fee from PT DSI to Criminal Investigation Unit

Celebrity Dude Harlino has handed over the fee he received as a brand ambassador for PT Dana Syariah Indonesia (DSI) to the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes (Dittipideksus) at the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit (Bareskrim). The handover is related to the investigation process into alleged fraud and money laundering at PT DSI. Dude Harlino’s legal representative, Haris Azhar, stated at the Bareskrim building in Jakarta on Thursday (23/7) that the total amount handed over was Rp5.25 billion. This sum represents the total received by Dude and his wife, Alyssa Soebandono, during their tenure as brand ambassadors. “This is purely an initiative. We have been coordinating with investigators for the past two to three weeks to convey Dude’s good intentions, and today is the actual handover process,” he said. Haris explained that his client’s aim in handing over the money was to assist in the material recovery for the victims of the PT DSI fraud. Furthermore, this handover represents Dude’s moral responsibility to the victims. “Because legally Dude has no issues, but Dude feels concerned about the situation of the DSI victims. Ultimately, Dude took on a greater role, not just as a witness, but Dude is also present to take on this role,” he explained. Meanwhile, Dude Harlino admitted he felt relieved to be able to hand over the money he received from PT DSI to Dittipideksus investigators. With this handover, he hopes the legal process can proceed smoothly in accordance with applicable regulations. “Hopefully, these victims can get their rights. The most important thing for me is that they can get their full rights in accordance with the law,” he said. Separately, the Head of the Dittipideksus Investigation Team, Brigadier General Pol. Susatyo Purnomo Condro, stated that Dude received Rp5.25 billion during his time as a brand ambassador for PT DSI from 2022 to 2025. After Dude handed over the money, he continued, investigators immediately carried out a seizure as part of the asset tracing efforts for one of the suspects in this case, identified as FH. “Investigators carried out the seizure in accordance with applicable legal provisions and documented it in a Receipt Certificate and a Seizure Report as part of the investigation administration,” he said. In addition to the seizure, investigators also examined Dude to obtain information regarding the receipt and handover of the fee.
