"Yes, we have named a suspect in the document forgery case," said Banyumas Sub-regional City Police Chief, Senior Superintendent Petrus P. Silalahi on Tuesday (6/30/2026). 

He stated that the suspect's designation was a follow-up to a report from the bank regarding irregular transactions that resulted in losses for customers.

After receiving the report, investigators immediately conducted a series of inquiries and investigations, including witness examinations, evidence collection, and coordination with forensic experts.

Based on the investigation, the suspect is suspected of falsifying documents by using a Sub Account Auto Grab Fund (SA AGF) form that had expired in August 2025.

"Based on sufficient evidence, we have named the reported person a suspect," said Petrus.

During questioning, suspect N confessed to all of his actions and stated that he carried out the act alone without involving any other parties. Suspect N also admitted to having carried out a similar scheme since 2021 and that the proceeds of his crimes had been used to meet his personal needs and to benefit other customers.

"The suspect's motive was to fulfill personal and lifestyle needs, including the desire to own a house and a vehicle," said Petrus

He emphasized that the Banyumas Police will continue to investigate this case and coordinate with the public prosecutor for further legal proceedings. The total losses to the victims reached approximately IDR 25 billion, with more than 100 victims.

He urged the public to remain vigilant against investment offers or financial programs of unclear legality and to ensure that all transactions are conducted through official banking procedures.
