A total of 41 retirees in Purwokerto have allegedly fallen victim to fraud committed by a bank employee. The suspect reportedly used a scheme involving the offer of fictitious banking products to convince customers to hand over their funds.
According to attorney Djoko Susanto, who represents the victims, the total financial losses had exceeded Rp8.1 billion as of early June 2026.
"The number of victims continues to grow, and based on the data we have collected up to early June 2026, the total losses have reached more than Rp8.1 billion," Djoko Susanto said.
The victims, most of whom are retirees, believed they were investing in legitimate banking products. However, the products were allegedly fictitious, causing substantial financial losses.
The case is currently drawing public attention, with the victims seeking legal remedies and accountability for the losses they suffered. Authorities are expected to continue investigating the alleged fraud and determine the extent of the suspect's involvement.
