The amount of money was described as fantastic. Officers also seized several financial documents from the property.
The raid is part of a broader crackdown ordered by President Prabowo Subianto into corruption, bribery, and money laundering. Based on police reports, the investigation involves three major state entities: the state electricity company PLN, the social insurance firm Asabri, and the steel maker Krakatau Steel. The PLN case is tied to a coal graft scandal that recently caused a major blackout across Sumatra.
The police have not yet finished counting the foreign currency. Investigators from the Corruption Eradication Corps and the local police department are currently analyzing the seized documents to build their case. Simultaneous raids were also conducted at other locations, including the Coin Money Changer.
