        "summary": "Indonesian police have named AS, the founder and former director of PT Dana Syariah Indonesia (PT DSI), as the fourth suspect in a case involving alleged fraud and embezzlement related to the company's funding from the public, which has resulted in unpaid debts totaling approximately Rp 2.4 trillion. The investigation, spanning from 2018 to 2025, has already implicated three other executives, and authorities have imposed a six-month travel ban on AS to prevent flight. This development underscores ongoing efforts to combat financial misconduct in Indonesia's peer-to-peer lending sector, with potential losses likely to increase as the probe continues.",
