Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesian National Police Police (INP) have arrested two suspects in a money laundering case tied to online gambling disguised as Information Technology  businesses. 

The suspects, identified as OHW, the Commissioner of PT A2Z Solusindo Teknologi, and H, its Director, used shell companies to facilitate transactions for 12 gambling sites.

“We arrested two suspects last night. They created and operated shell companies in the IT sector to process online gambling payments,” said Commissioner General Wahyu Widada, the INP Head of Criminal Investigation Agency, on Wednesday (7/5/2025).

The scheme used PT TGC, a subsidiary of PT A2Z, to process deposits and withdrawals through payment gateways, channeling funds from gambling sites like ArenaSlot77, Royal77VIP, and Togel77. The money was stored in nominee accounts to avoid detection and was used for personal gain and investments in bonds.

Police seized Rp 530 billion, including 4,656 bank accounts, Rp 276.5 billion in bonds, and four cars. Police also blocked 197 accounts. Both suspects face charges under the 2010 Money Laundering Law.
