Bank Mandiri unfreezes account linked to Pati protest donations

“Bank Mandiri has followed up on the transaction suspension involving Mr. Supriyono’s account, allowing it to be used normally again as of today, August 26, 2026,” President Director Riduan said in Jakarta.

Riduan thanked the public for their feedback, attention, and trust in Bank Mandiri, reaffirming the bank’s commitment to providing the best services to its customers and the Indonesian public.

“Bank Mandiri remains committed to providing the best services to customers and the Indonesian public,” Riduan said.

Earlier, Jakarta Metropolitan Police Criminal Investigation Director Senior Commissioner Iman Imanuddin said police had completed their review of the account containing funds raised for a public protest in Pati.

“We have obtained legal facts from relevant parties regarding the donations and the account … The account is now under Bank Mandiri’s authority again,” Iman said.

Iman said the transaction suspension was imposed to ensure that the donated funds came from lawful sources, protecting both donors and recipients from potential legal violations.

He said transaction suspensions can last up to five working days under Law No. 8 of 2010 on the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering.

“Today, five working days have not elapsed. However, we moved quickly to ensure that democratic processes and the right to express opinions under the law remain protected,” Iman said.
