inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Cyber ​​Crime Directorate of the Indonesian National Police (INP) Criminal Investigation Agency froze 576 accounts with a total value of IDR 63.7 billion and confiscated 235 other accounts worth IDR 90.6 billion. The accounts were frozen because they were suspected of being linked to online gambling.

Head of Sub-Directorate 2 Cyber ​​Crime Directorate, Senior Superintendent Ferdy Saragih, stated that the frozen and confiscated funds reached IDR 154.3 billion. This success is the result of a collaboration between the police and the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), based on the analysis of the Analysis Results Report (LHA) from PPATK which was then followed up in the investigation process.

"We are following up on the PPATK's LHA through the investigative mechanism in accordance with Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2013. There is a strong suspicion that the source of these funds comes from online gambling crimes," he said on Tuesday (8/26/2025).

He emphasized that this blocking and confiscation is not the final step. The police will continue to pursue the perpetrators and networks behind this cybercrime.

"We will continue to take action against accounts related to online gambling. This is a form of our commitment to cleaning up the digital space from illegal practices," he said.

The INP Cyber ​​Crimes Directorate also plans to hold a press conference in the near future to further reveal the results of this action, including details of the findings and further efforts to be taken to eradicate online gambling.
