Outrage! Truck Full of Suspected Illegal iPhone Packages Seized in Sidoarjo

A truck containing evidence related to the criminal offence of illegal mobile phone imports was seized in Sidoarjo, East Java. This is a development of the case previously uncovered in Jakarta.

The Director of Special Economic Crimes (Dirtipideksus) of Bareskrim Polri, Brigadier General of Police Ade Safri Simanjuntak, stated that investigators had conducted a search at a shophouse owned by PT TSL in Sidoarjo, East Java.

“This is a development from the case in Jakarta, where two individuals have been designated as suspects, namely DCP alias P and SJ,” he said, quoted on Wednesday, 22 April 2026.

He explained that the evidence seized from the location consisted of one expedition truck full of logistics packages. However, the contents of the packages in the truck are still being investigated for the purposes of the probe.

According to him, PT TSL is the parent company that operates several shell companies to carry out illegal mobile phone imports through the air cargo route at Juanda International Airport.

Ade emphasised that investigators do not rule out the possibility of additional suspects in the case.

Previously, in the case uncovered in Jakarta, Bareskrim had conducted searches at six locations consisting of warehouses, shophouses, and offices used as storage sites for illegal imported goods.

From those searches, investigators seized 56,557 iPhone units worth approximately Rp225.2 billion, 1,625 Android phone units worth Rp5.38 billion, and 18,574 mobile phone accessories with a total value reaching Rp235.08 billion.

In addition, investigators also found other products such as baby clothes and children’s toys that do not meet the mandatory Indonesian National Standard (SNI), but have been traded domestically, including through e-commerce platforms.

“The development of the case in Sidoarjo is still ongoing, and we will provide updates later,” said Ade.
