East Java High Prosecutor's Office Names Three Suspects in Alleged KUR Corruption in Jember

The East Java High Prosecutor’s Office has named three suspects in a case of alleged corruption related to the distribution of People’s Business Credit (KUR) at a state-owned bank’s Jember Branch for the 2021–2023 period, which is suspected of causing state losses amounting to Rp41.48 billion. The Assistant for Special Crimes at the East Java High Prosecutor’s Office, IG Punia Atmaja NR, announced in Surabaya on Wednesday evening that the three suspects are MFH, the former Branch Manager for the 2021–2023 period; AM, a Collection Agent for CV Jawara Tani; and IS, a Collection Agent for CV Idris Afnan Jaya. Punia stated that investigators had gathered sufficient evidence to name the three individuals as suspects in the case of alleged irregularities in the distribution of micro KUR at the Jember Branch. Based on the investigation results, the bank distributed micro KUR to the public through a channeling scheme involving 19 collection agents. These agents were responsible for recommending prospective debtors, coordinating document collection, and assisting with the credit repayment process. However, investigators discovered alleged irregularities in the implementation. MFH is suspected of abusing his authority as branch manager by receiving money from several collection agents, totalling Rp105 million. For the purposes of the investigation, AM and IS have been detained for 20 days, starting from 8 July to 27 July 2026, at the Surabaya Class I Detention Centre branch at the East Java High Prosecutor’s Office. Meanwhile, MFH was not detained as he is currently serving a sentence for another case at the Jember Penitentiary.
