Thousands of PT Dana Syariah Indonesia Victims Applaud Police Investigation into Alleged Rp 2.5 Trillion Fraud

Jakarta – Thousands of victims united under the Paguyuban Lender Dana Syariah Indonesia (PDLSI) have voiced their appreciation for the law enforcement process being undertaken by the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim Polri) in handling the alleged fraud case involving PT Dana Syariah Indonesia (PT DSI). The case has reportedly caused losses of up to Rp 2.5 trillion, affecting approximately 14,000 lenders.

PDLSI Chairman Achmad D Pitoyo stated that the association understands that handling a case with such a large number of victims and a high level of complexity requires time, thoroughness, and significant hard work. ‘We extend our highest appreciation and respect to Bareskrim Polri, especially the Directorate of Special Economic Crimes, for the professionalism, dedication, and hard work shown in handling the alleged fraud case of PT DSI,’ Achmad said in a statement on Saturday, 27 June 2026.

According to Achmad, the investigators’ efforts in gathering evidence, tracing assets, and uncovering the case represent a form of dedication that deserves recognition. He assessed that Bareskrim Polri’s actions demonstrate a commitment to providing legal certainty, protecting public interests, and upholding the law against economic crimes that harm many parties.

‘We respect the ongoing legal process and hope that all stages of the handling are carried out transparently, objectively, professionally, and fairly until a legally binding decision is reached. Public trust in law enforcement will be stronger if this process adheres to the principles of due process of law,’ he stated. PDLSI also hopes that the recovery of victims’ rights remains a key focus in the law enforcement process, particularly through the optimisation of asset tracing, seizure, and restitution in accordance with statutory regulations.

‘Our hope is that every victim can obtain the maximum recovery of their rights based on legal provisions and a final and binding court decision,’ Achmad said. He added that for the victims, the funds placed were not merely financial values, but the result of hard work, savings, and efforts accumulated over many years. The victims, he said, placed their funds with the belief that they were transacting through a scheme believed to be compliant with Sharia principles. ‘Hopefully, the successful uncovering of this case will not only provide a deterrent effect to the perpetrators but also become a momentum to deliver real justice through the optimal recovery of the victims’ rights in accordance with applicable law,’ he concluded.
