Police Investigate Ownership of Sentul Home After Raid

Police are investigating the ownership of a house in Parahyangan Golf 2, Sentul, Bogor, West Java, which was raided in connection with corruption, bribery, and money laundering cases related to coal procurement and Asabri. During the raid on Wednesday (8/7), investigators from the Metro Jaya Police Special Criminal Investigation Directorate and the Corruption Eradication Task Force seized 74 kilograms of gold bars and Rp476 billion in cash. Metro Jaya Police spokesperson Senior Commissioner Budi Hermanto stated in a press conference on Friday (10/7) that investigators are strengthening their findings regarding the ownership of the raided house. He noted that while information has circulated, including in a press conference earlier that morning, investigators will conduct an in-depth probe through PT Sentul City. Budi added that his party will also request information from the National Land Agency (BPN) to investigate the ownership of the house, including examining witnesses in the surrounding area and checking the certificate of ownership to determine in whose name it is registered. Previously, the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, admitted that the house in Sentul raided by the police is his private residence. He stated that the house has been his personal property for a long time and that the process of ownership can be verified. Regarding the cash found, Febrie asserted that the evidence can be accounted for, explaining that the money belongs to a specific owner and is related to certain activities and building projects that can be checked. He expressed confidence that everything can be properly accounted for, though not through a public forum but rather through proper legal proceedings. The head of the Corruption Eradication Task Force, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, explained that three corruption cases are being handled through a joint investigation mechanism with the Metro Jaya Police, including the PLN coal case, the Asabri case from 2020 to 2025, and a case involving the settlement of PT CBS’s debt to PT KNI, a subsidiary of Krakatau Steel.
