Police Seize Rp67.5 Billion in Cash, Detain Cafe Employees in Jakarta Raid

Authorities have conducted a search and seizure operation at the de'Clan Signature cafe and Koin Money Changer in Cipete, South Jakarta, confiscating a substantial amount of cash totaling approximately Rp67.5 billion. The operation, involving investigators from Polda Metro Jaya and the National Police's Directorate of Corruption Crimes (Kortastipidkor), also led to three cafe employees being taken in for questioning.

The seized funds include Indonesian Rupiah, US Dollars, and Singapore Dollars. Specifically, police reported confiscating SGD 3,130,000, US$889,965, and Rp259,159,000 in cash from the de'Clan location, which, when converted, amounts to nearly Rp60 billion. At the Koin Money Changer, an additional Rp7.2 billion in various foreign currencies was secured, along with 71 other items of evidence and 16 foreign currency units.

Investigators also collected documents and electronic devices for further analysis. The searches are reportedly linked to ongoing investigations into corruption (tipikor), money laundering (TPPU), and bribery cases. These investigations stem from two police reports received by the authorities.

The cases being handled include alleged corruption and money laundering related to PT Asabri (Persero) and/or Asuransi Jiwasraya between 2020 and 2025, as well as alleged corruption in the settlement of PT CBS's debt to PT KNI during the same period. The joint investigation aims to uncover the full scope of financial crimes.
