Bareskrim Names Former OJK Official Fitri Hadi a Suspect in DSI Case
The Criminal Investigation Agency of the Indonesian National Police has named Fitri Hadi as a suspect in a fraud and embezzlement case involving funds at PT Dana Syariah Indonesia, a peer-to-peer lending fintech where he was a founder and advisor. Brigadier General Ade Safri Simanjuntak, Director of Special Economic Crimes at Bareskrim, stated that Hadi was named a suspect on Monday based on evidence gathered by investigators, including witness testimony, expert statements, documents, physical evidence, and electronic evidence. Hadi previously served as Director of Operations and Information System Facilities at DSI from 2014 to 2017, Director of the Digital Finance Innovation Group at the Financial Services Authority from 2017 to 2018, and Director of Information Technology and Risk Management at the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2022. The suspect is alleged to have committed criminal embezzlement in office, fraud, fraud through electronic media, falsifying accounting and financial records without legitimate supporting documents, and money laundering related to the distribution of public funds by PT DSI. The fraudulent scheme on the online lending application involved using fictitious projects created from existing borrower data, occurring between 2018 and 2025. This development stems from the investigation of previously named suspects, including the president director, a commissioner, and two former directors. Hadi is known to have founded and held positions in several companies affiliated with PT DSI, including serving as a commissioner and president director at other firms, and was the majority shareholder in a rural bank and two other financial and retail companies. He was also revealed to be a nominee shareholder without capital contribution in PT DSI and actively participated in meetings concerning the development of the online lending platform. Using his position, Hadi actively sought and recommended business contacts and potential super lenders for PT DSI, was aware of the fictitious campaign projects uploaded to the company’s website and application to attract investor funds, and regularly attended company events. For investigative purposes, a travel ban has been requested against Hadi through the Directorate General of Immigration for 20 days starting from 8 June 2026. Investigators will send a summons for him to provide testimony as a suspect scheduled for Wednesday, 17 June 2026, at the Bareskrim building.
