Police seize U.S., Singapore dollars from hidden safe in Cipete
Investigators tied the find to three corruption and money-laundering cases as they raided eight locations in Jakarta to Bogor.
Polri and Polda Metro Jaya seized cash in U.S. dollars and Singapore dollars, along with several documents, from a safe hidden behind a cabinet on the second floor of de'Clan Signature cafe in Cipete, South Jakarta, on Wednesday. The search was part of a joint investigation into three cases: alleged corruption in coal supply linked to a PLN blackout, the Asabri and Jiwasraya cases in 2020-2025, and alleged corruption and money laundering in the settlement of PT CBS's debt to PT KNI. Police said eight sites were searched simultaneously, including areas in Kuningan, Sudirman, Pacific Place, and Bogor. Investigators are still counting the total foreign currency and examining the seized documents.
