Surabaya Prosecutor's Office Deposits IDR 9.05 Billion in Confiscated Online Gambling Proceeds to State Coffers
The Surabaya District Prosecutor’s Office (Kejari Surabaya) has deposited IDR 9.05 billion in confiscated assets from a money laundering (TPPU) case connected to online gambling into the state treasury as Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP).
“The case on behalf of Jaka Purnama has permanent legal force. We have deposited the evidence, amounting to IDR 9.05 billion, into the state treasury in accordance with the court’s ruling,” said Head of the Surabaya District Prosecutor’s Office Tri Anggoro Mukti in Surabaya, East Java, on Tuesday.
The deposit was made based on the ruling of the Surabaya District Court Number 200/Pid.Sus/2026/PN Sby, dated 22 June 2026, which ordered the evidence to be confiscated for the state.
In addition to executing the seizure of evidence, the Surabaya Prosecutor’s Office has also carried out the sentence against convict Jaka Purnama, who is now serving a 10-year prison term.
Tri explained that the deposited money was the remaining balance from accounts belonging to two companies suspected of being used as repositories for funds derived from online gambling activities, namely CV Global Teknologi Digital and CV Wira Tekno Sechipta.
“The investigation revealed that the confiscated money was the remaining balance from the accounts of the two companies, which were seized and ordered forfeited to the state by the court,” he stated.
He disclosed that the investigation also uncovered fund flows from the gambling proceeds to a number of overseas accounts, including in Malaysia and the Philippines, with an estimated value of around IDR 29 billion.
In addition to the cash, investigators also found that some of the funds had been used to purchase assets, including several apartment units in Batam and hundreds of python skins and monitor lizard skins. However, these assets are still under further investigation and have not yet been seized.
The Surabaya Prosecutor’s Office confirmed that the process of tracing assets and the online gambling network is still ongoing. Tri added that the investigation continues to develop, aiming to uncover other parties suspected of involvement, including the possibility of fund flows abroad.
In the development of this case, investigators had previously transferred two other suspects to the Tanjung Perak District Prosecutor’s Office. Both are being processed as perpetrators of online gambling, while the money laundering case has so far only ensnared one convict as the tracing of assets and networks is still underway.
