JAKARTA — Online gambling boss Oei Hengky Wiryo concealed his illicit betting operations through a company that was administratively registered as a computer trade and consulting enterprise, according to prosecutors.

The concealment was revealed after the West Jakarta District Prosecutor’s Office transferred seized assets valued at Rp 530.430.217.325 (approximately US$32 million) along with a penalty of Rp 1 billion to the state treasury through the Ministry of Finance on Friday, 13 March 2026.

West Jakarta District Prosecutor Head Nurul Wahida Rifai stated that the funds represented proceeds from online gambling activities orchestrated by Oei Hengky’s syndicate over many years.

“The convict concealed or disguised the origins, sources, locations or actual ownership of assets known to be proceeds of gambling offences through several shell companies,” Rifai said at the prosecutor’s office on Friday.

In 2018, the two men established PT A2Z Solusindo Teknologi, which served as a shell company for laundering proceeds from online gambling. In the company structure, Henkie held the position of Chief Executive, whilst Oei Hengky Wiryo served as Chief Commissioner and majority shareholder with 60 per cent ownership worth Rp 300 million.

Administratively, the company operated in computer trade and consulting. In practice, however, PT A2Z Solusindo Teknologi became the beneficial owner of PT Trans Digital Cemerlang, a web portal company that housed numerous online gambling websites.

Over seven years of operation since 2018, the company controlled at least 14 online gambling sites, including YUKKPLAY54, BetVIVA, ARENASLOT77, loginjptogel77, royal777vip, Juragan Gaming, CBOGAMING, 888Togel, mabukw1n, AQUASLOT, Alexis17, GOKKEN138, UGSLOT, and HCS77.

“Gambling proceeds were then funnelled through accounts belonging to convict Oei Hengky Wiryo and several affiliated accounts,” Rifai said.

Through the investigation, authorities traced player deposit flows directing to multiple holding accounts operated by Oei Hengky’s network. The inquiry culminated in the arrest of the gambling site mastermind in 2025.
