JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) has arrested a fugitive with the initials SDPS who was involved in a corruption case in the provision of credit facilities at PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Timur (Bank Jatim) Jakarta Branch.

The suspect was arrested in the Gunungkidul area, Yogyakarta Special Region, on Sunday, July 13.

Head of the Legal Information Section of the DKI Jakarta Prosecutor's Office, Syahron Hasibuan, said that the SDPS had previously been absent from summons for examination several times, until it was finally designated as the People's Wanted List (DPO).

"After a series of monitoring, the Jakarta Prosecutor's Office Joint Team managed to detect the whereabouts of the person concerned in Gunungkidul," said Syahron in Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, July 15.

According to Syahron, the SDPS suspect has been legally summoned five times by the Investigating Prosecutor but has never been present without clear reasons.

"The absence hinders the investigation process, so that the person concerned is designated as a DPO," he said.

The investigative team then conducted a sweep of several locations suspected of being the suspect's hiding place, including the house of his parents and the house of his brother-in-law. During the search, the team confiscated a number of evidences from the suspect's brother-in-law's house, including documents, electronic equipment, cash amounting to Rp1.07 billion, as well as gold jewelry and precious metals.

In addition, during the arrest, the suspect also brought cash amounting to Rp42 million.

"SDPS and her husband were cooperative and were immediately taken to the DIY Prosecutor's Office for initial examination," said Syahron.

The suspect was then taken to the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office on Monday to undergo further legal proceedings. The SDPS was previously named a suspect based on Letter of Determination Number: TAP-23/M.1/Fd.1/07/2025.

In this case, SDPS is known to play a role in managing the flow of funds from credit disbursement from Bank Jatim Jakarta Branch. He is also involved in the preparation of fictitious documents such as Work Orders (SPK), invoices, and financial reports, as well as regulating the formation of fictitious companies as debtors.

SDPS is part of the management of the Indi Daya Group, especially in the financial sector. Based on the internal calculations of Bank Jatim, due to the actions of the perpetrators, the state suffered a loss of Rp569.42 billion.
