TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has interrogated two former officials of PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) in a case of alleged corruption in providing credit facilities to PT Sri Rejeki Isman Tbk (Sritex) and its subsidiary entities. The two individuals are BK, the Head of the Commercial Division of the BRI Central Office in 2017, and DN, the Head of the Syndication and Financial Institution Services Division of BRI in 2015.
"The interrogation of witnesses is carried out to strengthen the evidence and complete the dossier in the said case," said the Head of the Legal Information Center of the Attorney General's Office, Harli Siregar, in a written statement on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
In addition to the two former BRI officials, investigators also interrogated seven other witnesses. Four of them are officials of the West Java and Banten Regional Development Bank (Bank BJB), namely UK, Corporate Account Officer 1; VSD, Corporate Credit Manager; NA, Director of Commercial and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (UMKM); and RNL, Head of Corporate Group 1 for the 2020 period.
The other three are from other regional banks. They are BFW, Director of Micro, Small, and Islamic Business Credit at PT Bank DKI for the 2020 period; SLDR, Head of Corporate and Commercial Business Division of Bank Jateng for the 2018-2020 period; and PRM, Head of Risk Management Division of the Central Java Regional Development Bank for the 2020 period.
Prior to this, the Attorney General's Office uncovered allegations of corruption in the provision of credit to Sritex by Bank BJB, Bank DKI, and Bank Jateng. Additionally, prosecutors also investigated the provision of credit through a syndication scheme involving BRI, BNI, and the Indonesian Export Financing Institution (LPEI).
Up to now, investigators have determined three suspects in this case, namely the President Commissioner of Sritex, Iwan Setiawan Lukminto, the President Director of Bank DKI for the 2020 period, Zainuddin Mappa, and the Head of the Corporate and Commercial Division of Bank BJB for the 2020 period, Dicky Syahbandinata.
Sritex, a textile company that was once the largest producer in Southeast Asia, officially closed on Saturday, March 1, 2025, after being declared bankrupt. The bankruptcy was ratified in a creditors' meeting on Friday, February 28, 2025.
Based on the investigation by the AGO, the total problematic loans that have not been repaid by Sritex until October 2024 amounted to Rp3.5 trillion. The details are as follows: Rp395.6 billion from Bank Jateng, Rp543.9 billion from Bank BJB, Rp149 billion from Bank DKI, and around Rp2.5 trillion from the syndicated loans involving BRI, BNI, and LPEI.
