In September 2026, eight former Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) employees appeared in the Bandung Corruption Court. They face allegations of a conspiracy to embezzle Rp2.66 billion by creating fictitious micro-credit files using the identities of 104 debtors without permission between 2021 and 2024. Prosecutors attributed the scheme to an abuse of managerial power and a breakdown in internal controls. In October 2026, the Sidoarjo District Attorney's Office named a former Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) employee, identified as AH, a suspect in a corruption case. It is alleged that between 2020 and 2024, AH used unauthorized access to inter-branch accounts and the credentials of other employees to perform 24 separate fund transfers into personal accounts, resulting in estimated state losses of approximately Rp3.29 billion. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-02: Bank Tabungan Negara former employee named suspect in Rp3.29 billion embezzlement case A former Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) employee in Sidoarjo has been named a suspect for allegedly embezzling Rp3.29 billion through unauthorized inter-branch account transfers. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bank-tabungan-negara-former-employee-named-suspect-in-rp329-billion-embezzlement-case ### 2026-09-17: Bank Rakyat Indonesia employees accused of Rp2.66 billion fraud Eight former Bank Rakyat Indonesia employees face charges for conspiring to embezzle Rp2.66 billion through the falsification of 104 debtor identities between 2021 and 2024. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bank-rakyat-indonesia-employees-accused-of-rp266-billion-fraud --- Cite as: Banking sector corruption in Indonesia.
