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

Investigators have named three individuals as suspects after finding sufficient evidence in a case of alleged misuse of Micro KUR disbursement at the Jember Branch for the 2021–2023 period.

Surabaya (ANTARA) - The East Java High Prosecutor’s Office has named three suspects in an alleged corruption case involving the disbursement of People’s Business Credit (KUR) at a government-owned bank’s Jember Branch for the 2021–2023 period, with suspected state financial losses of Rp41.48 billion.

Assistant for Special Crimes at the East Java High Prosecutor’s Office, IG Punia Atmaja NR, said in Surabaya on Wednesday evening that the three suspects are MFH, former Branch Manager for the 2021–2023 period, AM, a Collection Agent (CA) of CV Jawara Tani, and IS, a Collection Agent of CV Idris Afnan Jaya (IAJ).

“Investigators have named three individuals as suspects after finding sufficient evidence in a case of alleged misuse of Micro KUR disbursement at the Jember Branch for the 2021–2023 period,” said Punia.

Based on the results of the investigation, the bank channelled micro KUR to the public through a channeling scheme involving 19 collection agents.

The collection agents were tasked with recommending prospective debtors, coordinating the collection of documents, and assisting with the loan repayment process.

However, investigators found alleged irregularities in its implementation. MFH is suspected of abusing his authority as branch manager by receiving money from several collection agents, with a total value of Rp105 million.

For investigative purposes, AM and IS have been detained for 20 days, from 8 to 27 July 2026, at the Class I Detention Centre Branch in Surabaya under the East Java High Prosecutor’s Office.

Meanwhile, MFH was not detained because he is currently serving a sentence in another case at the Jember Correctional Institution.
