TANJUNG SELOR A big wave of financial scandals is hitting Bankaltimtara. After months of public whispers, investigations into 47 fictitious credit facilities worth IDR 275.2 billion are now nearing the final round.
North Kalimantan Police Chief Inspector General Djati Wiyoto Century confirmed that the results of the investigation of this case will drag several names in the banking world in this area, and will soon be made public.
"In the near future we will reveal the results of the investigation. The North Kalimantan Police Ditreskrimsus team has examined many parties, collected evidence, and coordinated with institutions such as the Prosecutor's Office, OJK, to financial auditors," said Djati after attending an activity at the Bulungan Police Headquarters, Tuesday, October 21.
Inspector General Djati emphasized that this case is a serious concern, not only at the regional level, but also at the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.
"We are paying full attention to this case, especially since it has become a public concern, the public is waiting for transparency. We must show that the law continues indiscriminately," said the Kapolda.
Previously, the Director of Special Criminal Investigation (Dirreskrimsus) of the Kaltara Police, Kombes Pol Dadan Wahyudi revealed that from the investigator's report, at least 47 Working Capital Credit (KMK) facilities for goods and services procurement projects were suspected of using fake Work Orders (SPK).
"The mode is classic, but the value is extraordinary. Credit is proposed using fictitious SPK guarantees, the money is disbursed, then withdrawn by certain parties," said Kombes Pol Dadan Wahyudi.
According to Dadan, the investigation was in the final stages with dozens of witnesses being examined, including bank officials, borrowers, and expert witnesses.
"Nothing is covered up. We remain careful, because this case is directly supervised by the National Police Headquarters and the KPK," said Dadan.
He ensured that the investigation process had officially entered the investigation stage with the issuance of the Notice of Commencement of Investigation (SPDP) to the Prosecutor's Office, KPK, and the National Police Headquarters.
"In an effort to deepen this case, the Ditreskrimsus team previously searched three Bankaltimtara offices in Kaltara, namely the Tanjung Selor Regional Office, Tanjung Selor Branch Office, and Nunukan Branch Office. The search was carried out on Friday (15/8/2025)," he explained.
Then, from the operation, dozens of cardboard boxes containing documents and banking transaction files were confiscated.
"We secure all documents for proof. The value of the temporary loss is still calculated, but the value can reach hundreds of billions of rupiah," he concluded.
This alleged fictitious credit case has become a reputation storm for Bankaltimtara as a regional development bank whose shares are owned by all local governments in East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan.
In addition to the fantastic value of hundreds of billions, this case also highlights the weakness of internal supervision and the potential involvement of individuals behind the scenes.
