Satgas Pasti Confirms Bahana Lintas Nusantara Cooperative Collected Public Funds Without Permit

The Illegal Financial Activities Eradication Task Force, known as Satgas PASTI, has exposed a case involving the unauthorised collection of public funds by the Bahana Lintas Nusantara Cooperative (Koperasi BLN).

Hudiyanto, the Secretariat of the Illegal Financial Activities Eradication Task Force, explained that the disclosure of the Koperasi BLN case was achieved through a series of investigations conducted by Satgas PASTI members. These investigations included joint inspections involving the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the Central Java Regional Police, the Central Java Cooperative Office, and the Central Java Investment and PTSP Office.

Furthermore, the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) and the Indonesian Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK), as members of Satgas PAUS, conducted profiling of the perpetrators, assessed the potential impact, and traced the fund collection activities carried out by Koperasi BLN, Hudiyanto stated on Monday, 8 June 2026.

Through coordination between Satgas PASTI members, the case proceeded to the arrest of the suspect, Nicholas Nyoto Prasetyo, the Chairman of Koperasi BLN. Nicholas is alleged to have collected public funds without a permit through various products, including savings programmes offering monthly interest rates of up to 4.17 per cent.

“The success of this case handling serves as concrete evidence that synergy between Authorities, Ministries, and Agencies, both within and outside Satgas PASTI, is a key element in facing the increasingly complex and harmful threats of illegal financial activities,” he said.

Satgas PASTI urges the public that if they encounter suspicious or suspected illegal investment offers or online loans, or those offering illogical high returns/interest, they should report them via the website sipasti.ojk.go.id or contact the OJK at 157 or via WhatsApp (081157157157). Additionally, individuals who have become victims of financial transaction fraud can immediately submit reports through the IASC website at http://iasc.ojk.go.id by attaching relevant data and supporting documents.
