Police find safe with 74 kilograms of gold in Sentul

Indonesian investigators have uncovered a significant cache of gold bars, weighing an estimated 74 kilograms, hidden within a safe in Sentul, Bogor Regency. The discovery was made by investigators from the National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps (Kortastipidkor) in collaboration with the Metro Jaya Regional Police.

The safe was found at one of twelve locations searched as part of ongoing investigations into money laundering, bribery, and corruption. These cases involve PT Asabri, a corruption case concerning coal supply that led to a blackout in Sumatra, and the PT Krakatau Steel case. "A safe was indeed found," confirmed Head of Kortastipidkor Polri Inspector General Totok Suharyanto on Wednesday, July 8, 2026.

Video footage released by investigators showed cash in various currencies and gold bars inside the safe. While the exact value is still being determined, the gold alone represents a substantial find. Police have not yet provided details on other findings from the Sentul search. This incident follows a similar discovery in South Jakarta, where investigators seized approximately 60 billion Indonesian rupiah in cash from a safe at the Cafe de'clan Signature.

Searches were conducted at multiple other locations, including offices of PT CBS in West and North Jakarta, an office of PT KNI in Central Jakarta, a residence in South Tangerang, and a money changer in South Jakarta. Additional searches took place at residences and offices in South Jakarta, including locations in Mega Kuningan and Kuningan, as well as an apartment at Pacific Place.
