Suitcase of Rp1.5 Billion at Restaurant and Toyota Alphard: Alleged Money Laundering by Ex-Bima Police Chief from Drug Money Revealed

The case ensnaring former Bima City Police Chief Didik Putra Kuncoro continues to produce new facts in the courtroom. In addition to alleged involvement in narcotics distribution, prosecutors have also revealed a flow of funds in fantastic amounts suspected to originate from methamphetamine sales. The money was allegedly not only enjoyed personally but also disguised through various means to avoid detection. During the inaugural hearing at the Raba Bima District Court, a number of shocking facts emerged. These ranged from the handover of Rp1.5 billion in a suitcase, the alleged use of funds to send family members on umrah, to a request for a luxury Toyota Alphard from a drug lord network. The Public Prosecutor revealed that Didik Putra Kuncoro allegedly received a flow of funds from the drug lord network of Koko Erwin alias Erwin Iskandar through the former Head of the Narcotics Unit of the Bima City Police, AKP Malaungi. The scheme began when Malaungi offered cooperation to A. Hamid alias Boy, who was part of Koko Erwin’s network. Initially, a monthly deposit of Rp500 million was requested as ‘attention money’. After negotiation, the amount was reduced to Rp400 million per month. The deposits took place from May 2025 to September 2025. Boy handed over the money in stages, Rp200 million each time, with some transactions allegedly conducted around the Bima City Police headquarters complex. The indictment states the total deposits reached Rp1.8 billion. Of that amount, Rp1.5 billion allegedly went to Didik, while Rp300 million was used by Malaungi for personal interests. One part of the indictment that drew attention was the alleged handover of Rp1.5 billion in cash. The prosecutor revealed that in early November 2025, Malaungi handed the money to Didik in a suitcase at the Oma Lengge area, within the Bima City Police headquarters complex. After being received, the money was reportedly transferred to another suitcase before being taken to Mataram by Didik’s wife. This fact regarding the handover of money in a suitcase became an important part of the indictment as it illustrates how the suspected proceeds of crime were transferred directly.
