Bank Mandiri faces scrutiny over AMPB activist account suspension
Bank Mandiri is facing public scrutiny and a dip in stock value following reports that an account belonging to Supriyono, a coordinator for the Pati United Community Alliance (AMPB), was restricted. The account, containing approximately Rp80.9 million in personal funds and public donations intended for a protest, became a focal point of controversy.
Polda Metro Jaya clarified that the account was not blocked, but rather subject to a temporary transaction suspension for up to five working days as part of an investigation under anti-money laundering laws. Police emphasized that the funds were not seized and the account remains under the owner's name. The Jakarta Metropolitan Police also denied claims that Supriyono was arrested during the recent demonstrations.
Public reaction has been mixed, with social media users calling for boycotts and fund withdrawals. Meanwhile, legal experts and officials, including members of the DPR, have noted that banks are obligated to follow lawful requests from law enforcement and regulatory bodies like the OJK. The PPATK has stated it did not request the suspension of the account.
