Jakarta — The District Attorney’s Office for West Jakarta (Kejari Jakbar) has returned 530 billion rupiah in funds seized from an online gambling case to the state treasury through the Ministry of Finance on Friday.

Head of the West Jakarta District Attorney’s Office Nurul Wahida Rifal explained that the transfer of several hundred billion rupiah was carried out based on the verdict of the West Jakarta State Court No. 773/Pid.Sus/2025/PN Jkt.Brt dated 11 February 2026 against defendant Oei Hengky Wiryo.

The amount consists of seized state funds totalling 529.43 billion rupiah from various bank accounts suspected of being connected to online gambling offences, as well as case fines of 1 billion rupiah.

“The transfer of seized state funds and case fines is carried out through official mechanisms to the state treasury as a form of implementing a court verdict that has obtained permanent legal force,” said Nurul at the West Jakarta District Attorney’s Office on Friday.

She emphasised that this step represents the Attorney General’s Office commitment to recovering state assets through optimising the return of criminal proceeds to the state.

“The return of seized funds to the state treasury demonstrates that law enforcement must be carried out until completion,” Nurul stated firmly.

The defendant in the case, Oei Hengky Wiryo (69), is a resident of Pantai Mutiara, North Jakarta.

In the case, Oei Hengky Wiryo was found guilty of committing money laundering offences derived from online gambling activities through a number of companies.

At the company, Henkie served as Chief Executive Director, whilst Oei Hengky Wiryo was the Chief Commissioner and held 60 per cent majority shareholding.

The company operated in the field of computer trade and information technology consultation activities.

On the other hand, PT A2Z Solusindo Teknologi was also listed as the beneficial owner of PT TDC, which operated in the field of web portals and commercial digital platforms.

In practice, the company was affiliated with a number of online gambling sites that could be accessed by players from 2018 to February 2025.

Through the company and several shell companies it controlled, the defendants allegedly concealed or disguised the origin, source, location, and ownership of assets derived from online gambling proceeds.

Funds from gambling were then disguised through several companies before finally being transferred to accounts belonging to Oei Hengky Wiryo and a number of other affiliated accounts.

For his actions, Oei Hengky Wiryo was found to have violated Article 4 in conjunction with Article 10 of Law No. 8 of 2010 on the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Offences (TPPU).

“The court imposed a prison sentence of two years plus a fine of 1 billion rupiah, alternatively 190 days imprisonment. In addition, evidence in the form of funds totalling 530.43 billion rupiah was seized for the state,” Nurul explained.
