Jakarta West District Prosecutor's Office Hands Over Rp 530 Billion in Seized Funds from Online Gambling Boss Hengky Wiryo to State Treasury
JAKARTA — The Jakarta West District Prosecutor’s Office handed over seized funds valued at Rp 530 billion from an online gambling case to the state treasury via the Ministry of Finance on Friday, 13 March 2026.
Head of the Jakarta West District Prosecutor’s Office, Nurul Wahida Rifai, explained that the funds constituted seizures from Case No. 773/Pid.Sus/2025/PN Jkt.Brt dated 11 February 2026 involving convicted defendant Oei Hengky Wiryo.
The transferred funds comprised state seizures totalling Rp 529.430.217.325, originating from various bank accounts suspected of being linked to online gambling offences, plus a fine of Rp 1 billion.
The transfer was conducted symbolically to the Director-General of State Treasury at the Ministry of Finance, Astera Primanto Bhakti.
“The deposit of seized state funds and fines in this case was carried out through official mechanisms into the state treasury as a form of implementing court decisions that have acquired permanent legal force,” Nurul stated at the Jakarta West District Prosecutor’s Office on Friday, 13 March 2026.
“Returning seized funds to the state treasury demonstrates that law enforcement must proceed to completion. This involves not only imposing custodial sentences on perpetrators but also firmly confiscating assets obtained through criminal activity for deposit into the state treasury,” Nurul added.
Oei Hengky Wiryo, 69, a man from Medan residing in Pantai Mutiara, North Jakarta, was found guilty of money laundering from online gambling operations.
For his actions, Oei Hengky Wiryo was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment and a fine of Rp 1 billion, with the alternative of 190 days’ additional imprisonment.
“Such crimes not only harm the state but also erode the morality and economic capacity of society. Therefore, the prosecution and enforcement we undertook represent not merely work obligations but also service in realising public welfare and providing education to steer people away from online gambling,” Nurul said.
In conducting his operations, the convicted Oei Hengky concealed online gambling fund flows through the establishment of shell companies operating in the technology sector.
The company, PT A2Z Solusindo Teknologi, was established in 2018 by Oei Hengky Wiryo together with another convicted individual, Henkie.
Within this company, Hengky served as Chief Executive Director, whilst Oei Hengky Wiryo acted as Chief Commissioner and majority shareholder with a 60 per cent stake worth Rp 300 million.
PT A2Z Solusindo Teknologi operated ostensibly in computer trading. However, in practice, it served as the beneficial owner of PT Trans Digital Cemerlang and was used to shelter dozens of online gambling websites from 2018 until February 2025.
“The convicted party concealed or disguised the origin, source, location or true ownership of assets known to have resulted from online gambling offences from several shell companies,” Nurul stated.
“Online gambling proceeds were then concealed into accounts held by convicted Oei Hengky Wiryo and several other affiliated accounts,” Nurul explained.
The case was first detected in 2024 when the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Directorate received a report of suspicious financial transactions from the Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK).
Deposits from online gambling players were successfully traced and ultimately led to collection accounts managed by the Oei Hengky syndicate.
