inp.polri.go.id - North Kalimantan. The North Kalimantan Regional Police Special Criminal Investigation Directorate confiscated hundreds of fictitious credit documents at the Bank Kaltimtara regional office (Kanwil) on Jelarai Raya Street in Tanjung Selor City, Bulungan Regency on Friday (8/15/2025).

In addition, Bank Kaltimtara branch offices in Nunukan and Tanjung Selor Regencies were also searched simultaneously.

The Director of Special Criminal Investigation of the North Kalimantan Regional Police, Senior Superintendent Dadang Wahyudi, stated that the searches at the two branch offices and the Bank Kaltimtara regional office were aimed at uncovering alleged corruption in the distribution of fictitious loans by the state-owned bank.

"This case began with the discovery of 47 Working Capital Credit Facilities (KMK) for the procurement of goods and services or projects, allegedly using fictitious Work Orders (SPK) as collateral," he said, as reported by voi, Sunday (8/17/2025).

"These 47 fictitious loans are suspected of causing state losses of approximately IDR 275.2 billion," he said.

He further explained that the motive of the perpetrators, who came from outside North Kalimantan, was to submit the allegedly fictitious credit applications.

"They then withdrew the funds from Bank Kaltimtara. These credit applications allegedly originated from outside North Kalimantan. This case occurred over three years, from 2022 to 2024," he explained.

He revealed that hundreds of bank documents confiscated in 30 boxes will be used as evidence to investigate the involvement of the relevant parties.

"Thirty people have also been questioned as witnesses, including those from the East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan Regional Office. No one has been named a suspect, although this case is currently under investigation.

The North Kalimantan Regional Police are continuing to investigate this case to uncover the entire network and perpetrators involved," he explained.
