A search conducted by the Indonesian National Police’s Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor) together with the Polda Metro Jaya Special Criminal Investigation Directorate at Cafe de’CLAN Signature in South Jakarta has yielded new findings. After discovering a large safe hidden behind a cabinet on the second floor of the cafe, investigators have now revealed its contents. Inside, they found stacks of foreign currency cash and a number of documents. The Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Police Grand Commissioner Budi Hermanto, stated that the money found consisted of US dollars and Singapore dollars. However, investigators are still counting the total amount of money secured. ‘The findings include US dollars and Singapore dollars. This is still in the process of being counted,’ Budi said at the location on Wednesday, 8 July 2026. Budi explained that the foreign currency was found inside the safe, which was previously discovered hidden behind a display case on the second floor of Cafe de’CLAN. In addition to the cash, investigators also found a number of documents which have now been secured as part of the evidence. ‘It turns out there were indeed several documents and a storage of money in a fairly large, fantastic amount,’ he said. Previously, it was reported that joint personnel from the Police Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor) and Polda Metro Jaya raided a cafe and a money changer in the Cipete area, Cilandak, South Jakarta, on Wednesday, 8 July 2026.

A number of fully armed Brimob personnel were seen guarding the area during the process. Observations at the location showed investigators entering Cafe de’CLAN Signature and Koin Money Changer to search for and secure evidence required for the investigation. The Head of the Police Kortastipidkor, Inspector General Totok Suharyanto, stated that the searches at the two locations were part of simultaneous operations at eight sites. ‘Currently, the Police Kortas is carrying out a joint investigation scheme with the Polda Metro Jaya Special Criminal Investigation Directorate in handling corruption and money laundering cases,’ Totok said.
