OJK and Bareskrim Secure Suspect in Alleged Criminal Case at PT BPR DCN Malang

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Financial Services Authority (OJK) together with the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) secured a suspect in a case of alleged banking criminal activity that occurred at PT BPR DCN, Malang, East Java, after the individual failed to comply with the examination summons from OJK investigators. “The securing was carried out through the synergy of a joint team consisting of OJK Investigators, Bareskrim’s Coordination and Supervision of Civil Servant Investigators (Korwas PPNS), and the East Java Regional Police’s Cyber Crime Directorate on 9-10 March 2026,” said the Head of the Department of Financial Literacy, Inclusion, and Communication at OJK, M. Ismail Riyadi, in his statement in Jakarta on Thursday. Based on monitoring results, OJK explained that the suspect, who was initially scheduled to attend the examination summons in Surabaya, was detected moving towards Jakarta. Upon arrival at Gambir Station in Jakarta, the suspect was immediately secured by the Bareskrim Korwas PPNS Team and subsequently taken back to Surabaya to undergo examination by OJK Investigators. In addition to the suspect, the joint team also made efforts to bring in a witness who failed to attend the examination summons as part of the investigation process. This step is part of the law enforcement efforts carried out through coordination between OJK Investigators and the Indonesian National Police (Polri). OJK stated that the implementation of coercive measures by Bareskrim’s Korwas PPNS at the request of OJK Investigators is a form of implementing applicable statutory regulations. OJK also expressed appreciation for the support and cooperation from Polri, particularly Bareskrim’s Korwas PPNS and the East Java Regional Police’s Cyber Crime Directorate, in the activities of bringing, arresting, and detaining the suspect. “Through strong synergy and coordination between OJK and law enforcement agencies, it is hoped that the law enforcement process in the financial services sector can run effectively, while strengthening consumer protection and maintaining public trust in the banking industry,” Ismail concluded.
