Jakarta, IDN Times – The Indonesian National Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim Polri), specifically its Directorate of Special Economic Crimes, has executed the seizure of three offices and one commercial building (ruko) in connection with an alleged fraud case involving PT Dana Syariah Indonesia (DSI), valued at a staggering Rp2.4 trillion.
Brigadier General Ade Safri Simanjuntak, Director of Special Economic Crimes at Bareskrim Polri, confirmed that investigators carried out the initial seizures of two PT DSI offices located in Prosperity Tower on Wednesday, February 18, 2026. “The seizure operation was conducted with the full accompaniment of representatives from the District 8 building management and the legal counsel for suspect TA,” Simanjuntak stated in a written release on Friday, February 20, 2026.
The pursuit of justice in this significant fraud case continued as investigators proceeded with further asset seizures. On Thursday, February 19, 2026, additional actions were taken, including the seizure of another PT DSI office at the same location, along with a commercial building owned by a company affiliated with PT DSI. Simanjuntak emphasized that these comprehensive seizure activities were undertaken as part of a crucial effort to trace and secure assets, which are vital for evidentiary purposes and, ultimately, for the recovery of losses suffered by the victims.
He further assured the public that the entire process has been conducted with the utmost professionalism, transparency, and accountability, underscoring the commitment to a fair and just resolution. This meticulous approach aims to ensure all procedures comply with legal standards while safeguarding the integrity of the investigation.
In relation to this extensive fraud investigation, Bareskrim Polri has officially named three individuals as suspects. They are identified as Taufiq Aljufri, the CEO of PT DSI; Mery Yuniarni, a former Director of PT DSI; and Arie Rizal Lesmana, a Commissioner of PT DSI. These individuals are believed to be central to the fraudulent operations that led to the substantial financial damages.
Ade Safri explained that the fraudulent scheme orchestrated by PT DSI involved the creation of fictitious projects. The company allegedly fabricated these projects by misusing existing data of investment recipients, or “borrowers,” presenting them deceitfully as entirely new ventures. This elaborate deception resulted in approximately 15,000 victims incurring total losses amounting to Rp2.4 trillion over an operational period spanning from 2018 to 2025.
Beyond the property seizures, Bareskrim has also taken decisive financial measures to cripple the fraudulent network. A total of 63 bank accounts belonging to PT DSI and its affiliated entities have been blocked. Furthermore, investigators have successfully seized Rp4 billion from 41 of these blocked banking accounts. In a parallel move, law enforcement officials have also confiscated several motor vehicles, which are suspected to have been purchased with proceeds derived from the PT DSI fraud scheme.
For their alleged criminal actions, the three suspects face severe charges under multiple articles of Indonesian law. These include Articles 488, 486, and/or 492 of the Criminal Code (KUHP), Article 45A Paragraph 1 in conjunction with Article 28 Paragraph 1 of the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law, Article 299 of the Financial Sector Development and Strengthening Law, and Article 607 Paragraph 1 letters a, b, and c of the Criminal Code. These extensive charges reflect the multifaceted nature of the alleged fraud and the potential repercussions for those involved.
