PPATK blocks accounts of Ivan Sugianto and Valhalla Nightclub, allegedly related to online gambling

JAKARTA – Financial Operations Reporting and Analysis Center ( PPATK ) suspended the account of businessman Ivan Sugianto who scared students of Christian High School (SMAK) Gloria 2, EN into bowing down and barking.

PPATK also banned several accounts related to Valhalla Spectclub Surabaya. From information that is circulating, it is said that Ivan is the owner of the club. The ban was made because of allegations that judol money was flowing to Valhalla.

“There are parties suspected of being related to judol who are connected to that person,” said PPATK CEO Ivan Yustiawandana, when contacted on Thursday (14/11/2024).

Ivan has not explained in detail whether Valhalla is still in the same group as Judol which also includes employees of the Ministry of Communications and Digital (Kemkomdigi). He said his party had blocked dozens of accounts belonging to Valhalla after the judol marks.

“(Those who are blocked) only a few dozen. (Still) Continuing to develop,” said Ivan. “The value is still being calculated,” he said.

Ivan said that PPATK is currently coordinating with the police regarding the banning of the account. “Later, detectives will investigate that person,” he said
