Merangin Police Investigate Alleged Embezzlement of Bank Mandiri Customer Loan Funds

The Merangin Resort Police, under the Jambi Regional Police, are investigating an alleged case of loan fund embezzlement reported by several Bank Mandiri customers at the Pemenang Sub-Branch Office (KCP) in Merangin Regency, Jambi Province. Merangin Police Chief Adjunct Senior Commissioner Kiki Firmansyah Efendi confirmed the matter on Friday evening (3/7), stating that the case, which had caused public outcry, has now reached the investigation stage. ‘The case has been followed up and is at the investigation level. The suspect has been detained,’ said Kiki Firmansyah. The alleged fraud involving an employee of the Bank Mandiri KCP in Pemenang, Merangin, came to light following complaints from a number of customers at the end of June 2026. At that time, at least 10 customers protested to the bank, as loans valued between Rp150 million and Rp300 million were detected in the bank’s system as having been disbursed long ago. However, the victimised customers claimed they never received a single rupiah of the credit funds, yet were still being pursued for repayment by the bank, allegedly through the employee with the initials AND. The police have now named AND as a suspect for allegedly embezzling the loan funds of the victimised customers. The management of the Bank Mandiri KCP in Pemenang has not yet been willing to provide a response to journalists regarding the matter.
