Indonesian National Police (Polri) are conducting simultaneous raids in Bogor and South Jakarta to investigate alleged corruption, bribery, and money laundering involving PLN, ASABRI, and Krakatau Steel. According to Polda Metro Jaya and Kortas Tipikor, the operations have resulted in the seizure of hundreds of kilograms of gold and approximately Rp 60 billion in cash and foreign currency.
What was found during the police raids?
Police discovered a large white safe hidden behind a brown wood-patterned wall in a luxury home in Sentul, Bogor. Investigators seized five suitcases containing gold bars and foreign currency from the site, according to reports from the scene on Wednesday, July 8, 2026.
In a separate raid at de’Clan Signature in Cipete, South Jakarta, officials seized electronic devices, mobile phones, and documents. Irjen Totok Suharyanto, Kakortas Tipikor Polri, stated that the cash seized at the de’Clan location totaled nearly Rp 60 billion after conversion.
Which corruption cases are being investigated?
The investigation is a joint effort between Kortas Polri and Ditreskrimsus Polda Metro Jaya. Irjen Totok Suharyanto identified three primary focuses: the procurement of coal at PLN that triggered blackouts in Sumatra, the ASABRI case spanning 2020 to 2025, and a debt settlement case between PT CBS and PT KNI, a subsidiary of BUMN Krakatau Steel from 2020 to 2025.
Kombes Budi Hermanto, Kabid Humas Polda Metro Jaya, confirmed that these raids are part of a broader effort to uncover bribes, gratifications, and money laundering. He noted that the investigation is a direct priority for President Prabowo Subianto.
What happens next in the investigation?
Police may continue to analyze the seized mobile phones and documents to identify further accomplices or additional hidden assets. Because the raids were conducted simultaneously across multiple locations, including a money changer, investigators are likely to trace the flow of the seized foreign currency.
The evidence collected will be used to fulfill the requirements of the ongoing investigation into the PLN, ASABRI, and Krakatau Steel cases, according to Kombes Budi Hermanto.
