Police are investigating the ownership of a luxury house in Sentul, Bogor, after discovering dozens of kilograms of gold bars and various foreign currencies during searches related to three corruption cases. The cases involve the coal sector, ASABRI, and Krakatau Steel. “Investigators are still working to confirm the ownership of the house that was searched. Information has been circulating, including at a press conference this morning, but investigators will conduct further inquiries through PT Sentul City,” said Polda Metro Jaya Head of Public Relations, Commissioner Budi Hermanto, during a press conference at Polda Metro Jaya, Jakarta, on Friday (10/7/2026). He added that police would also examine witnesses in the surrounding area and check with the National Land Agency regarding the certificate of ownership to determine in whose name it is registered.
Budi stated that the police are still categorising the evidence from the three separate cases. He assured that developments would continue to be communicated to the public. “The money found is still being investigated, and investigators are also clustering the evidence related to the three cases,” he said. “We ask for your time, and we will provide updates in the near future.”
The list of evidence seized from 12 search locations includes: from the luxury house in Sentul, 74 kg of gold bars, USD 4,767,300, SGD 14,083,800, and Rp 100,000,000, along with two framed family photos.

Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Febrie Adriansyah, acknowledged that the Sentul house is his private residence. “Secondly, regarding the Sentul house, it is indeed my private house and has been for a long time. Its ownership history can be checked from the beginning,” Febrie said at a press conference at the Attorney General’s Office in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. He claimed that the tens of kilograms of gold bars and hundreds of billions of rupiah found have owners, though he did not explicitly state who they are. “As for the money found, as I explained earlier, it has owners, there are activities, and there are people who receive the proceeds of those activities, you can ask about that,” Febrie elaborated. He added that several building activities could be verified and were fully accountable, but not through a public forum, rather through proper legal procedures.
During the same occasion, Commissioner Budi Hermanto emphasised that handling the case is part of the commitment to support President Prabowo Subianto’s national priorities in strengthening the eradication of corruption. “We are here to convey the investigation into alleged criminal acts of corruption, bribery, gratification, and/or money laundering,” he said. He noted that the case aligns with the seventh goal of the government’s agenda, which is to strengthen political, legal, and bureaucratic reform, as well as to bolster the prevention and eradication of corruption. “This corruption eradication effort is a priority of the President of the Republic of Indonesia under the seventh Asta Cita priority programme,” he stated.
