The West Java High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) is investigating a case of alleged corruption of irregularities in lending that allegedly occurred within the West Java Intan BPR, Garut Regency, West Java. This case caused state losses of up to Rp. 10 billion.

"The alleged criminal act of irregularities in lending is suspected to have occurred between 2018 and 2021," Riyono said in his statement in Bandung, as reported by Antara, Thursday, January 12.
According to him, the investigation process has been carried out since December 2022. So far, he said, eight witnesses have been questioned regarding the alleged corruption, consisting of employees to other parties.
