Two Couriers Arrested in Nusa Penida for Embezzling IDR 205 Million in Company Funds

Two courier firm couriers with the initials FR (38) and KR (25) have been arrested by police in connection with the alleged embezzlement of company funds totalling hundreds of millions of rupiah. The two men are now being held by the Nusa Penida Police Station, Klungkung, Bali.

The head of Nusa Penida Police Station, Kompol I Ketut Kesuma Jaya, revealed that the report regarding the alleged embezzlement was received on Wednesday (11 March). FR and KR are suspected of embezzling company funds since 18 February 2026, with total losses reaching IDR 205 million.

“The money paid by customers to the two couriers was not deposited to the company,” said Kesuma Jaya on Friday (13 March 2026).

Following receipt of the report, the Jalak Nusa team from Nusa Penida Police Station immediately conducted a series of investigations. The two couriers were eventually apprehended. Based on interrogation results, both individuals confessed to their actions.

FR and KR have been charged under Article 486 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) for the crime of embezzlement, which carries a maximum sentence of five years’ imprisonment. Police are also considering applying Article 487 of the KUHP, as the embezzlement was committed on the basis of an employment relationship or position.

“The successful resolution of this case is the result of swift and responsive work by the Jalak Nusa team from Nusa Penida Police Station in following up on reports from the community,” he concluded.
