        "summary": "The head of the Mambal Village Credit Institution (LPD) in Badung, Bali, has been named a suspect in a loan manipulation case that caused losses of IDR 33.6 billion. The investigation was delayed for years after the initial auditor, who had flagged a much larger potential loss, passed away. Police allege the suspect used personal and family identities to secure loans and unilaterally restructured bad debts to make them appear performing.",
        "content": "<p>The investigation into the Mambal LPD was initially reported by the\npublic after they discovered a blockage of customer funds on 28 May\n2021. The case faced significant delays after the first auditor,\nProfessor I Wayan Ramananta, passed away, and the licence of the initial\naccounting firm was blocked. Police were forced to commission a fresh\naudit from KAP Doni and Partners in April 2025, which was received on 28\nMay 2026. The new audit established the real loss at IDR 33.678 billion,\na figure significantly lower than the initial estimate of IDR 211\nbillion. According to the Badung Police Chief, the suspect, identified\nby the initials IWAW, manipulated credit statuses by using his own\nidentity, those of family members, and third parties to apply for loans.\nWhen these loans became non-performing, the suspect allegedly\nrestructured them repeatedly without the knowledge or consent of the\noriginal borrowers to make them appear as performing loans. Despite\nbeing named a suspect, IWAW has not yet been detained as police continue\nto investigate the possibility of other involved parties. The suspect\nfaces charges under the Anti-Corruption Law with a maximum penalty of 20\nyears imprisonment and a fine of up to IDR 1 billion.<\/p>",
