Police Receive Peace Letter in Ruben Onsu Fraud Case, Report Withdrawn
The South Jakarta Metropolitan Police have received a peace letter regarding the alleged fraud and embezzlement case that named celebrity Ruben Onsu as a suspect. The complainant and Ruben Onsu are said to have resolved the case amicably.
“The first letter is a peace agreement between the two parties. Who? Namely the complainant and the reported party. The essence of the letter is that the case is resolved through family deliberation, and the point is that both parties agree to settle the case amicably,” said South Jakarta Metro Police Public Relations Head AKP Joko Adiwibowo to reporters on Monday (31/8/2026).
Police also received a letter withdrawing the report submitted by the complainant. Joko said the police are following up on the two letters submitted in the case.
“Then the second letter, based on the peace agreement, is a letter withdrawing the police report made by the complainant, Mr P. And of course the investigators responded well to the agreement between the two parties,” he said.
Joko said the police will facilitate restorative justice for both parties. Police will hold a case review to determine the continuation of the case.
“These two letters have of course been received by investigators, and later this letter will be processed through RJ, a restorative justice resolution. After the RJ stage, investigators will hold a case review, the ultimate aim of which is to terminate the investigation,” he said.
“If the case is resolved, then going forward, especially since the case is heading towards completion, the report will be withdrawn and an SP3, a termination of investigation, will be issued,” he added.
The Fraud Case
AKP Joko previously said the report against Ruben was registered under number LP/B/310/VIII/2025/SPKT/Polres Jakarta Selatan, dated 22 August 2025. The complainant in this case has the initials P, while the victim has the initials DM.
In the report, Ruben was said to have offered the victim an investment in a business he owned. In short, an agreement was reached between the two parties, with the victim handing over a sum of capital.
“The chronology is that the reported party has a business, then offered the victim the opportunity to invest funds. The victim was then interested in carrying out the agreement between the victim and the reported party,” Joko told reporters on Thursday (20/8).
“An agreement was then drawn up with the victim handing over a sum of capital, along with a promised profit agreement,” he added.
In the report, Ruben Onsu was said to have failed to provide the profits and return the capital that had been deposited by the victim. As a result, Ruben was reported to the South Jakarta Metro Police.
“When the agreed time arrived, the profits had not been received and the capital had not been returned. Regarding that, the victim reported the incident to the South Jakarta Police,” he said.
