BALINEWSID.COM, DENPASAR — Investigators from Kejaksaan Tinggi Bali have named seven suspects in an alleged corruption case involving the distribution of People’s Business Credit (KUR) and Rural General Credit (KUPRA) at Bank Rakyat Indonesia Unit Kreneng, under the Gajah Mada branch, covering the period from 2022 to 2025.

The suspects were officially named on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, based on an investigation warrant issued by the Bali High Prosecutor’s Office under Number PRINT-72/N.1/Fd.2/01/2026 dated January 12, 2026.

Investigators stated they had found sufficient preliminary evidence indicating alleged corruption, supported by at least two valid pieces of evidence.

The seven suspects identified are AANSP and APMU, both serving as mantri or marketing officers at one of the BRI Gajah Mada branch units, along with IMS, IKW, AS, NWLN, and NWDL, who allegedly acted as brokers.

According to investigators, the suspects used a scheme in which they recruited customers to apply for KUR and KUPRA loans, but the disbursed funds were allegedly shared and used collectively by the perpetrators.

AANSP allegedly instructed IMS, IKW, and NWLN to find customers willing to apply for loans. To fulfill administrative requirements, the businesses of the applicants were allegedly manipulated so the credit applications would qualify for approval.

IMS and IKW were also said to have involved AS and NWDL in recruiting additional loan applicants. Once the loans were disbursed, the funds were allegedly divided among the suspects and the borrowers according to prior agreements.

Meanwhile, suspect APMU allegedly persuaded several customers to apply for KUR and KUPRA loans, with the loan proceeds later being used personally by APMU. Investigators said APMU also sought assistance from NWLN to manipulate customers’ business data to ensure loan approval.

As a result of the alleged scheme, the state is estimated to have suffered losses amounting to approximately Rp8.93 billion.

The suspects have been charged under Article 603 in conjunction with Article 20 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, along with Article 18 paragraph (1) letters a and b of Law Number 31 of 1999 on Corruption Eradication, as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001.

They are also subject to subsidiary charges under Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 paragraph (1) letters a and b of the Anti-Corruption Law and Article 20 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code.

The Bali High Prosecutor’s Office has detained suspects AANSP and NWDL at a state detention facility for the next 20 days. Meanwhile, suspects APMU, IMS, IKW, AS, and NWLN were already being held in connection with separate criminal cases.
