Indonesia's National Narcotics Agency (BNN) has seized assets valued at approximately Rp39.95 billion (around $2.6 million USD) from a suspected major drug trafficker known as "Bos Gendut" (Fat Boss) operating out of the Kampung Bahari area.

Brig. Gen. Roy Hardy Siahaan, Director of Enforcement and Pursuit at BNN, stated that in addition to drug trafficking charges, the agency is investigating "Bos Gendut," identified by the initial M, for alleged money laundering. The confiscated assets include Rp1.277 billion in cash and other assets estimated at Rp39.95 billion.

"Bos Gendut" had been a fugitive in a case involving the seizure of 98 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, which was uncovered on November 7, 2025. He was apprehended on the evening of August 12 after being monitored by authorities as he left Kampung Bahari for Mangga Besar, where he was found at a beauty salon.

Following the arrest, BNN, in collaboration with the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, conducted an operation in Kampung Bahari on Thursday morning. This operation reportedly faced resistance from loyalists of "Bos Gendut" present in the area, resulting in an injury to a police officer near the eye. BNN stated that operations will continue in Kampung Bahari as other individuals remain in the area besides the apprehended "Bos Gendut."
