inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Indonesian National Police (INP) Corruption Eradication Corps searched two cafes in Sidoarjo, East Java, as part of an alleged corruption case related to illegal mobile phone imports.

"The two cafes were searched: Cafe Sulthan and AZ Cafe," said INP Anti-Corruption Operations Chief, Senior Superintendent Yusuf Afandi, when confirmed in Jakarta on Thursday (6/25/2026).

The searches were a follow-up to investigators' searches at the Juanda Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office (KPPBC) and several other locations on Wednesday (6/24/2026).

From the two cafes, investigators seized several pieces of evidence, including the establishment and licensing documents of CV AHS Entertainment, four bank statements, three CCTV digital video recorders (DVRs), two flash drives, four file boxes labeled "East Java DJBC Regional Office Archives," and a bundle of tax documents.

According to Yusuf, the searches were conducted to investigate the possible connection between the two businesses and the flow of funds from illegal mobile phone imports.

"This investigation was conducted through the examination of documents, financial transactions, and other evidence found at the location," he said.

In addition to the two cafes, investigators also searched the offices of PT TSL, which is suspected of being involved in the bribery, and the home of AHT, the manager of PT TSL, located in Sidoarjo.

The search revealed that the PT TSL office was no longer operating and had a "for sale" sign posted. Investigators also recovered 37 documents related to banking data and asset ownership at AHT's home.

"All of the seized evidence will be examined and analyzed for further investigation," Yusuf said.

This case is a development of the alleged illegal import of cell phones and other electronic products from China, previously handled by the Smuggling Law Enforcement Task Force (Satgas Gakkum) of the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes of INP.
