The Head of the Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortas Tipidkor), Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, detailed the results of raids on the de’CLAN Signature cafe and Koin Money Changer in the Cipete area of Central Jakarta, linked to an alleged coal corruption case. He stated that officers seized several documents, electronic devices, and cash in various foreign currencies and rupiah, with a total converted value reaching Rp67.2 billion.
Totok explained that at the first search location, the cafe area, the investigative team secured several operational documents and electronic devices, including mobile phones. Additionally, investigators found piles of rupiah and foreign currency cash amounting to Rp60 billion.
“During the search at the cafe location, we seized several documents and electronics, including mobile phones. As for the money, we seized SGD 3,130,000 in 100 SGD denominations, USD 889,965, and Rp259,159,000 in cash. When converted to rupiah, the total is approximately 60 billion rupiah. This was at the cafe location,” Totok stated in Jakarta on Wednesday (8/7/2026).
Meanwhile, at the Koin Money Changer, the joint team seized at least 71 pieces of material evidence. Investigators also confiscated 16 types of foreign currency totalling around Rp7.2 billion. All the evidence has been transported by the investigative team to the Metro Jaya Regional Police headquarters.
In addition to seizing financial assets and documents, the police also brought in three individuals from the search locations for further questioning. Totok confirmed that the three individuals are witnesses. “Three people. Just employees, people who were at the location,” he clarified.
When asked about the possibility of expanding the searches to the homes or assets of state officials, Totok declined to comment further. He emphasised that the current release focuses on the results of the operations at the two Cipete locations. “For now, we are conveying this first. We will continue with the dynamics. The investigation process will be continued for further probing,” he concluded.
This search is related to the handling of three corruption cases, including alleged corruption in coal commodity governance that triggered mass blackouts, which is being handled by the Kortas Tipidkor. The second case concerns the development of a corruption case involving PT Asabri (Persero) and PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero) for the 2020 to 2025 period. The third cluster relates to alleged money laundering in the debt settlement process of PT CBS to PT KNI within the jurisdiction of the Metro Jaya Regional Police.
