West Jakarta Prosecution Office Deposits 503 Billion Rupiah to State from Oei Hengky Wiryo Online Gambling Case
The West Jakarta District Prosecutor’s Office (Kejari) has deposited 503 billion rupiah into state coffers in relation to an online gambling and money laundering (TPPU) case involving convicted offender Oei Hengky Wiryo. The funds have been deposited into the state treasury for the recovery of state losses.
“The deposit of state-seized funds and case fines originates from the handling of a case in the name of convicted offender Oei Hengky Wiryo, which was finally and conclusively ruled by the West Jakarta District Court on 11 February 2026 as guilty of money laundering offences,” stated West Jakarta Prosecutor Nurul Wahidah Rifal during a press conference at the West Jakarta Prosecutor’s Office on Friday (13 March 2026).
Nurul explained that the case originated in 2024 when the National Police Criminal Investigation Directorate (Bareskrim Polri) received information from the Financial Intelligence Unit (PPATK) regarding suspicious financial transactions. The transactions were indicated to be linked to online gambling activities.
“Based on the results of the investigation, a number of online gambling websites that were accessible to the public were discovered. These websites offered various luck-based games. The deposit system and fund withdrawal through bank transfers offered winnings at certain multiples accompanied by bonuses,” she explained.
Nurul described the money laundering modus operandi used by the convicted offender as registering an account through the gambling website, then depositing funds into an account designated by the website operator. Subsequently, winning funds would be credited to the player’s account balance and could be withdrawn through the fund withdrawal mechanism to the player’s personal account.
“Based on the results of transaction tracing, a number of accounts were discovered that were used as deposit collection accounts for gambling funds,” she stated.
Nurul continued, noting that the Oei Hengky Wiryo case had become legally binding, allowing the prosecution to execute the seizure of funds totalling 503 billion rupiah.
“The amount mentioned originates from state-seized funds of that amount from various bank accounts suspected of originating from online gambling offences and a fine of 1 billion rupiah. Subsequently, the funds will be deposited into the state treasury through the Ministry of Finance,” she said.
