Police Also Raid Luxury Mall in South Jakarta Linked to Corruption and Money Laundering Case

Police have also raided a luxury mall in South Jakarta in connection with the handling of a corruption and money laundering (TPPU) case. The Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation of Polda Metro Jaya and the Corruption Eradication Task Force of the National Police searched a total of eight locations today. Two of these were the de’Clan Signature café and Koin Money Changer in the Cipete area, Cilandak, South Jakarta. “In the South Jakarta area, there are around four to five points, including currently at several points in Pacific Place, as well as in the Kuningan and Sudirman areas, and heading towards Bogor,” said Polda Metro Jaya Head of Public Relations, Commissioner Budi Hermanto, to reporters on Wednesday (8/7). Budi stated that several houses and offices were also searched, though he did not provide further details. “There are several houses including offices, but we will convey the valid information later,” he said. So far, police have seized a number of pieces of evidence from the searches, including foreign currency and documents. The evidence was found in a safe hidden behind a wardrobe on the second floor of the de’Clan Signature café. Previously, the Head of the National Police’s Corruption Eradication Task Force, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, stated that the searches were related to the handling of three cases. He said the investigation was conducted jointly with Polda Metro Jaya. “The handling of corruption and money laundering cases in the legal process for the PLN BB case, then Asabri for the 2020 to 2025 period, and the alleged corruption case in the debt settlement process of PT CBS to PT KNI for the 2020-2025 period,” he said. Meanwhile, Polda Metro Jaya’s Director of Special Criminal Investigation, Commissioner Victor Dean Macbon, conveyed that the case handling originated from two received police reports. The first report relates to alleged corruption and/or money laundering in the legal handling process by state officials or civil servants in the PT Asabri (Persero) and/or Jiwasraya Insurance case that occurred between 2020 and 2025. The second report concerns alleged corruption and/or money laundering in the settlement of debts or obligations of PT CBS to PT KNI by civil servants or state officials during the same period. “The steps we are taking today involve efforts to fulfil evidence at approximately eight locations we are searching,” he said.
