Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesian National Police (INP)’s Narcotics Crime Directorate arrested two women, identified as DEH and L, this week for allegedly providing bank accounts used in money laundering activities for the high-profile Brother “Koko” Erwin and Andre "The Doctor" Fernando drug networks.

"The suspects agreed to open or reactivate bank accounts in exchange for cash payments ranging from Rp 1 million to Rp2 million, which were then controlled by the syndicates for illicit transactions," said Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso, the Director of Narcotics Crime, on Saturday (18/6/2026).

Police first arrested suspect DEH in Tasikmalaya on 14 April 2026, after discovering her account was managed by a middleman linked to Koko Erwin. Two days later, authorities arrested suspectL in Bekasi, who claimed she was persuaded by her son and a neighbor to provide accounts under the guise of an online clothing business.

The investigation revealed that these accounts were essential tools for "The Doctor," a notorious supplier recently extradited from Malaysia, to move funds across land and cargo smuggling routes. Officers are now tracking additional accomplices and examining witnesses to dismantle the financial infrastructure supporting these international narcotics operations.
