A number of items of evidence, ranging from gold bars to cash, seized during a raid on a house in Parahyangan Golf 2, Sentul, Bogor, West Java, have arrived at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police headquarters.

The raid was conducted by the National Police Anti-Corruption Task Force (Kortas Tipikor Polri) in relation to an alleged corruption and money laundering case. The evidence was transported to the Jakarta Metropolitan Police headquarters in tactical vehicles under tight escort from Mobile Brigade (Brimob) personnel.

Several suitcases containing evidence were brought to the headquarters, one of which was visibly labelled ‘gold bars’.

In addition to the evidence, a person believed to be a witness was seen being brought in by investigators and escorted to the Criminal Investigation Directorate building at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police headquarters. The identity of the individual has not yet been disclosed.

It is understood that police seized cash and 74 kg of gold bars with a total value of Rp476 billion when raiding a house in Parahyangan Golf 2, Sentul, Bogor, West Java, on Wednesday (8/7). The items were found in a locked safe inside the house.

“We found a locked safe, and upon opening it, it contained seven suitcases. The first contained 74 kilograms of gold bars. Then 4,767,300 US dollars. Then 14,083,800 Singapore dollars. Then Rp100 million. The total estimated value in rupiah is 476 billion,” said the Head of the National Police Anti-Corruption and Money Laundering Task Force, Commissioner General Totok Suharyanto, to journalists in the early hours of Thursday (9/7).

At the scene, investigators also seized a number of documents and mobile phones. Family photographs of the suspected owner of the house were also found.

“We have also seized several documents, including mobile phones, and several family photographs of the suspected owner of the house and the owner of the items in the safe. The evidence will subsequently be formally confiscated,” said Totok.

However, Totok has not revealed the identity of the homeowner, claiming that investigators are still looking into the matter.

“That is still being examined by the investigators,” he said.
