DJP Reveals Money‑Laundering Scheme Worth 58.2 Billion Rupiah

The Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) Central Jakarta office announced on 3 November 2025 a money‑laundering offense valued at 58.2 billion rupiah committed by a taxpayer identified as TB. The case follows a prior tax‑evasion conviction that imposed a three‑year prison term and a fine of 634.7 billion rupiah.

DJP reported that TB moved illicit funds by depositing cash into banks, converting it to foreign currency, transferring it abroad, and purchasing high‑value assets such as vehicles, apartments and land. Authorities have blocked and seized assets totaling 58.2 billion rupiah through coordinated actions by tax officials, prosecutors, police, and the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), with support from the Financial Services Authority, National Land Agency and the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

The enforcement demonstrates the government’s commitment to protect state revenue and ensure fairness for compliant taxpayers. Asset recovery, including overseas seizures via Mutual Legal Assistance with Singapore, aims to return the proceeds to the state treasury.
