Online Gambling Case Against Oei Hengky Uncovered, Half a Trillion Rupiah Seized
An online gambling (judol) and money laundering case involving Oei Hengky Wiryo has been uncovered. Approximately half a trillion rupiah has been seized from this case.
The case was uncovered by the Directorate of Special Economic Crime (Dittipideksus) of the Indonesian National Police’s Criminal Investigation Directorate (Bareskrim Polri). Senior investigator Brigadier General Susatyo Purnomo Condro explained that the case originated from a report and discovery of suspicious financial transactions by the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK).
“We received public reports and data from PPATK indicating suspicious financial transactions. Investigation began around 24 February 2025,” Susatyo stated at the Jakarta West State Prosecutor’s Office.
Over several months, investigators gathered facts and evidence, discovering that the transactions pointed to money laundering from online gambling activities. The case was handed over to the prosecutor’s office in July.
Susatyo explained that the defendant initially created corporations as a vehicle for gambling operations. The corporation served as a disguise for Oei Hengky Wiryo’s illegal gambling activities.
“He established, controlled, and used his companies to place, receive, and transact money derived from online gambling,” he stated.
Additionally, Oei Hengky Wiryo received online gambling proceeds through nominee accounts or accounts with unidentified ownership. These accounts accumulated billions of rupiah from gambling transactions.
“He then created another company to receive and transfer money. Fourth, he conducted layering to obscure the origins. Fifth, the funds were used to purchase various assets including bonds,” he said.
Investigators discovered thousands of bank accounts used by the defendant to receive illicit funds. Seizures were conducted across 22 banks, with a total of 4,656 accounts containing 253.548 billion rupiah.
The seized funds have now been deposited into the state treasury for recovery of state losses. Jakarta West State Prosecutor Nurul Wahidah Rifal explained that the West Jakarta District Court convicted the defendant on 11 February 2026 of money laundering offences.
Nurul described the money laundering method: the defendant registered accounts on gambling websites, made deposits to specified accounts operated by the site managers, with winnings credited to the player’s account balance and subsequently withdrawn to personal accounts.
“Searches identified numerous accounts used as deposit collection accounts for gambling,” she stated.
The case has achieved legal finality, and prosecutors executed seizure of 530 billion rupiah. “This amount comprises seized state funds from various bank accounts suspected of deriving from online gambling offences, plus a fine of 1 billion rupiah. These funds will be deposited into the state treasury through the Ministry of Finance,” she said.
Oei Hengky operated 14 gambling websites beginning in 2018. He established corporations to conceal his gambling activities.
“The defendant concealed online gambling fund flows through establishing shell companies. In 2018, Oei Hengky Wiryo and co-defendant Henkie established PT A2Z Solusindo Teknologi,” Nurul stated.
Within the company, Henkie served as Chief Executive Director, whilst Oei Hengky Wiryo served as Chief Commissioner and majority shareholder with 60 per cent ownership worth 300 million rupiah. PT A2Z Solusindo Teknologi ostensibly operated in computer commerce.
“However, in practice, the company was the beneficial owner of PT Trans Digital Cemerlang, and was used to operate dozens of online gambling sites from 2018 until February 2025,” she said.
During his operation of gambling sites, Oei Hengky Wiryo operated 14 websites including YUKKPLAY54, BetVIVA, ARENASLOT77, loginjptogel77, royal777vip, juragan Gaming, CBOGAMING, 888Togel, mabukw1n, AQUASLOT, Alexis17, GOKKEN138, GGSLOT, and HCS77.
“The defendant concealed or obscured the true origin, source, location or ownership of assets that he knew derived from gambling offences through several shell companies. Online gambling proceeds were subsequently obscured through accounts of Oei Hengky Wiryo and several affiliated accounts,” she stated.
