The online gambling (judol) case involving evidence of Rp 55 billion has entered a new phase. The Directorate of Cybercrime at Bareskrim Polri has completed the investigation of the case.

The case file has been declared complete (P21) by prosecutors from the Attorney General’s Office. Subsequently, the suspects and evidence of Rp 55 billion will be handed over to the Prosecutor’s Office.

“After the case file is declared complete or P21, we will immediately carry out stage II, which involves handing over the suspects along with the evidence to the public prosecutor. The total evidence to be handed over consists of money amounting to Rp 55 billion, which is the proceeds from online gambling activities,” said Kasubdit I Dittipid Siber Bareskrim Polri, Kombes Rizki Prakoso, in his statement on Saturday (28/3/2026).

This case began with Police Report Number LP/A/20/VI/2025/SPKT/BARESKRIM POLRI on 5 June 2025. The police have designated several suspects divided into three case files, namely suspect with initials MNF, suspect QF and associates, and suspect WK.

The Republic of Indonesia Attorney General’s Office declared the case file complete on 13 March 2026. The investigation results have been stated to meet formal and material requirements.

Suspects and Evidence to Be Handed Over

Rizki explained that with the case file declared complete, the legal process now enters the stage of handing over the suspects and evidence. He assured that his side has conducted intensive coordination with the Prosecutor to ensure the handover process runs smoothly in accordance with applicable legal provisions.

The handover of the suspects and evidence of Rp 55 billion is planned to take place on Tuesday, 31 March 2026, at the South Jakarta District Prosecutor’s Office.

Rizki emphasised that the uncovering of this case is part of Polri’s commitment to eradicating online gambling practices, which are considered to disturb the public and have the potential to damage social and economic order.

He hopes that with the case being transferred to the prosecution stage, the trial process can proceed quickly and provide legal certainty for the suspects as well as justice for the public.
