Indonesia PT DSI fraud investigation

Entities: Dude Harlino · Dittipideksus Bareskrim · Bareskrim Polri · PT Dana Syariah Indonesia · PT DSI

Overview

The Indonesian National Police’s Directorate of Special Crime (Bareskrim) began probing the massive fraud at PT Dana Syariah Indonesia (PT DSI) in October 2025 after reports that roughly Rp2.5 trillion was lost by about 14,000 lenders. By June 2026 the investigation had traced and seized assets exceeding Rp300 billion, including eleven properties across Jakarta, West Java, Banten and North Sumatra, land‑title certificates, deposits and cash.

In July 2026, actor Dude Harlino and his wife Alyssa Soebandono voluntarily handed over Rp5.25 billion earned as brand ambassadors for PT DSI to the Directorate of Special Crime. The money was presented as a moral contribution to victim restitution, especially for retirees who lost savings. Police confirmed receipt and continued asset seizures, including those of a suspect identified as FH.

Later in July, Harlino publicly reiterated the return, stating his motivation was concern for the victims and hoping the funds would aid restitution. He also faced online criticism over his prior association with PT DSI; he asserted he had conducted due‑diligence, noted the police were aware of his role, and said the controversy had not impacted his acting career, urging supporters to stand by him.
