inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesian National Police (INP) Drugs Criminal Investigation Directorate investigated Didik Putra Kuncoro, the former Bima Sub-regional Police Chief; Maulangi, the former Head of the Bima Sub-regional Police Drugs Criminal Investigation Unit; and AIS Setiwati, the treasurer and coordinator of Erwin's network in Jakarta.
The investigations relate to alleged money laundering (TPPU) involving drugs proceeds.
The Director of Narcotics Criminal Investigation at INP Criminal Investigation Agency, Brigadier General Eko Hadi Santoso, stated that the investigations were part of the ongoing investigation into a drugs network of Ko Erwin which was previously uncovered by the police.
"The investigation was conducted to investigate the alleged flow of funds and assets derived from the drug crimes. Investigators are also looking into the possibility of other parties benefiting from or assisting in disguising the proceeds of crime," explained Eko Hadi on Friday (5/8/2026).
According to him, the law enforcement approach taken not only prosecutes drug traffickers but also impoverishes the network through the implementation of money laundering.
During the investigation, police investigators also analyzed financial transactions, examined documents, and confiscated several pieces of electronic evidence related to the case.
"This step demonstrates our commitment to breaking the chain of drug trafficking, including stopping the flow of funds from criminal proceeds used to support the network's activities," he said.
He further explained that investigators are currently continuing to investigate the relationships between parties involved in Erwin's network and tracing assets suspected of originating from drug crimes.
He also urged the public to continue supporting drug eradication efforts by providing information regarding illicit drug trafficking activities and suspicious financial transactions.
"In this case, those proven involved can be charged under Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics and Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering," he said.
