Kafe de'Clan Padam after Police Search

Indonesian police conducted a thorough search of Kafe de'Clan Signature in South Jakarta on the evening of July 8, 2026, as part of ongoing investigations into three significant corruption cases. The operation, involving investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, concluded around 9:35 PM local time.

The searches were linked to criminal acts of money laundering and bribery in the PT Asabri case, corruption in coal supply that led to power blackouts in Sumatra, and a separate case involving PT Krakatau Steel. Investigators meticulously examined both the first and second floors of the cafe, which ceased taking orders around 8:00 PM as the police operation intensified.

During the search, police discovered and seized a small safe within a larger two-meter-high safe on the second floor. From these safes, authorities confiscated a substantial amount of cash, including SGD 3,130,000, US$ 889,965, and Rp 259 million. In total, the seized currency was converted to approximately Rp 60 billion (around $3.7 million USD).

In addition to the cash, investigators also collected various documents and electronic devices, including mobile phones. The operation involved dozens of armed police officers providing security. Despite the ongoing investigation and police presence, cafe staff were seen tidying the restaurant area and serving drinks to the officers earlier in the evening, before the cafe officially closed for the day.
