Police Seize $319 Million in Assets from Indonesian Sharia Fund Fraud Case

Indonesian police have confiscated assets valued at 319 billion rupiah ($319 million) in connection with an alleged fraud case involving PT Dana Syariah Indonesia (DSI). The investigation is ongoing, with authorities seeking to locate additional assets to aid in victim restitution.

Brigadier General Susatyo Purnomo Condro, head of the special economic crime investigation team at the National Police's Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim), stated that the seizure aims to recover losses for the lenders, who are considered victims. "In order to provide restitution that will later be returned to the lenders as victims," Susatyo said on Thursday, July 23, 2026.

The total seized amount includes 5.25 billion rupiah ($5.25 million) from actor Dude Harlino. Harlino, who served as a brand ambassador for PT DSI between 2022 and 2025, voluntarily returned the honorarium he received from the company. His lawyer, Haris Azhar, confirmed that the return of funds was an initiative by Harlino and his wife.

Police have identified five suspects in the case: PT DSI's President Director Taufiq Aljufri, Commissioner Arie Rizal Lesmana, former Directors Mery Yuniarni and Atis Sutisna, and former Information Technology and Risk Management Director of the Indonesia Stock Exchange, Fitri Hadi. Investigators also questioned Harlino as a witness to gather information about the honorarium payments as part of the evidence-building process.
