The Indonesia Financial Services Authority has completed its investigation into alleged banking crimes at PT BPR DCN in Malang, East Java, by transferring the suspect and evidence to the public prosecutor in Batu Malang. The case concerns GK, a commissioner and shareholder of PT BPR DCN, and marks the second-stage handover after the case file was declared complete on June 26, 2026. The investigation alleges several forms of misconduct between 2020 and 2024. These include unrecorded cash-bon withdrawals of about IDR 5.8 billion between January 2020 and June 2024, false bookkeeping in February 2024 linked to the pledging of collateral from the bank's precious metal and gold jewelry inventory worth about IDR 600 million, 71 credit facilities worth about IDR 14.8 billion granted without the debtors' knowledge between July 2020 and June 2024, and unrecorded funding from 12 depositors covering 25 deposit certificates worth about IDR 7.8 billion between March 2020 and 2022. OJK said the case followed an escalation from routine supervision to a special examination, inquiry and formal investigation, and that investigators faced resistance including missed examination summonses, an attempted escape and two pretrial challenges to the suspect designation. The suspect has been charged under banking law provisions as amended by Law No. 4 of 2023 on Financial Sector Development and Strengthening, together with relevant Criminal Code provisions. The stated maximum penalty is 15 years' imprisonment and a fine of up to IDR 5 billion.
