BRI Sacks Employees Involved in Credit Disbursement Corruption at Sidakarya Unit, Denpasar
Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) has terminated the employment of workers involved in corruption related to the disbursement of Micro Enterprise Loans (KUR) and Rural General Loans (KUPRA) at the Sidakarya Unit in Denpasar, Bali. The case was uncovered by the Bali High Prosecutor’s Office.
“As a result of this incident, the BRI employees suspected of fraud have been terminated,” said the Head of the BRI Gajah Mada Denpasar Branch, Janarka Dwi Atmaja, in a written statement to detikBali on Wednesday (25 February 2026).
Janarka said that the case being handled by the Bali High Prosecutor’s Office was revealed by BRI’s internal team. According to him, this demonstrates BRI’s commitment to implementing a zero-tolerance policy towards fraud in the workplace.
“BRI appreciates the Bali High Prosecutor’s Office for processing BRI’s report professionally in accordance with applicable regulations,” Janarka said.
Janarka affirmed that BRI is always proactive in uncovering fraud cases. BRI also does not tolerate any fraudulent acts and upholds the values of good corporate governance (GCG) in all business operations.
Previously, the Bali High Prosecutor’s Office named five suspects in the alleged corruption case involving the disbursement of KUR and KUPRA at the BRI Sidakarya Unit for the period of 2024 to 2025. In this case, the estimated financial loss to the state is IDR 8.5 billion.
The Bali High Prosecutor, Chatarina Muliana, said that the suspects carried out a scheme by collecting identity cards (KTP) from the public to be used as formal debtors.
“Suspect APMU is suspected of directing the other suspects to find the identities of residents, which were then used as the basis for credit applications,” she explained on Tuesday (24 February 2026).
The five suspects have the initials APMU, IMS, IKW, NWLN, and AS. This designation is a follow-up to the Investigation Order Letter Number PRINT-73/N.1/Fd.2/01/2026 dated 12 January 2026.
