The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police arrested and detained the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) eFishery, Gibran Huzaifah, regarding the alleged case of falsification of company financial reports that has occurred since 2018.
Penahanan dilakukan setelah penyidik Direktorat Tindak Pidana Ekonomi Khusus Bareskrim Polri melakukan pendalaman atas laporan yang masuk. Hal ini dibenarkan oleh Direktur Tindak Pidana Ekonomi Khusus Bareskrim Polri, Brigjen Helfi Assegaf.
"Yes, that's right (the arrest and detention of Gibran Huzaifah)," said Helfi when confirmed, Tuesday, August 5.
Gibran is known to have been detained since Wednesday, July 31. However, the National Police has not detailed the location of the detention or the process of arresting him in detail.
Apart from Gibran, the former Chief Product Officer (CPO) eFishery, Chrisna Aditya, was also reported in the same case.
Citing the CNBC Indonesia report, the alleged forgery emerged from a significant discrepancy between internal and external eFishery financial reports over the past few years.
In an external report, eFishery is said to have posted revenues of IDR 12.3 trillion from January to September 2024. Meanwhile, the company's internal reports only recorded revenues of IDR 2.6 trillion for the same period, with a difference of almost five times.
Inequality also occurs in prior tax profit records. External reports show the eFishery recorded a profit of IDR 261 billion during that period. However, internal reports show a loss of IDR 578 billion.
Over the past three years, external version of financial reports have described positive growth. In 2021, revenue was recorded at IDR 1.6 trillion, up to IDR 5.8 trillion in 2022, and jumped to IDR 10.8 trillion in 2023. Profits before tax were also reported to have grown stable.

However, internal records show different numbers. EFishery's internal income is only IDR 1 trillion in 2021, then IDR 4.3 trillion in 2022, and IDR 6 trillion in 2023. The report also shows the company has suffered losses since 2021, with a peak in 2022 which reached minus IDR 784 billion.
This case is currently being handled by the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. There has been no further information from the eFishery regarding the detention of their former executive.
