Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia -Commission III of the House of Representatives suddenly discussed the alleged cases of fraud, embezzlement and washing money at PT Bank Maybank Indonesia Tbk (BNII). Present at the Public Hearing Meeting (RDPU) was Benny Wullur as the legal counsel of the late Kent Lisandi.
Benny said that the case began when his client, Kent was invited to help Rohmat Setiawan in the business of procuring HP. He was asked to transfer bailout funds worth Rp 30 billion.
“Our client was doubtful, but then persuaded by Aris Setyawan (Head of the Maybank Cilegon Branch at the time),” Benny told the House of Representatives Commission III.
Finally Kent sent the Rp 30 billion on November 11, 2025 with three provisions, namely the Bank Dana statement could only be disbursed by Kent, check Rp 30 billion from Rohmat which was due on November 25, 2025, and the Debt Recognition Deed and Special Power of Attorney in the presence of a Notary.
“And Maybank also provides a link for Kent Lisandi, you can check that the money is still there or not,” explained Benny.
On November 25, 2024, Benny explained that Kent could not disburse the Rp 30 billion check. On this basis, Kent wrote to Maybank to ask for money to be detained.
“And indeed checked on the cellphone, the money is still intact,” he said.
However, then on December 10, Rp. 30 billion disappeared. Maybank reasoned that the money was included in the credit agreement which was later known to be made without Kent’s knowledge.
According to Benny, the transfer of Rp. 30 billion was a guarantee that the back-to-back credit agreement was made without Kent’s knowledge. Even the recipient of the credit turned out to be Rohmat’s wife who was a housewife.
Benny also questioned the credit disbursement process. Before getting credit, the bank evaluates the prospective debtor.
“In the conference, he (the wife of the Rohmat) at the earlier conference said he had never signed a credit agreement. Then he mistakenly, he said he did not know that he was signal of a credit agreement,” Benny explained.
At present the case has entered the court. But only dragged Aris and Rohmat as suspects.
According to Benny this case is thought to involve Maybank as a company. “Allegations of fraud and embezzlement and washing money allegedly carried out by Rohmat, Aris, and friends, including Maybank also allegedly did that,” he said.
The Benny has also sent a letter to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) related to this issue. “We ask the OJK to examine 5C (Know Your Customer) Maybank. If it is violated, it will be detrimental to the community,” said Benny.
Commission III of the House of Representatives also asked the Central Jakarta Police Chief to thoroughly investigate the alleged forgery of information conducted by Rohmat Setiawan based on reports of loss number: LP/C/453/XI/2024/SPKT/Metropolitan Police Station, Central Jakarta/Polda Metro Jaya.
In addition, the House of Representatives Commission III also asked the Central Jakarta Police Chief to immediately follow up on SPDP Number SPDP/489/XIII/RES 1.9/2024/Jakpus Restro on December 13, 2024 in accordance with statutory regulations.
Commission III of the Indonesian Parliament also asked the Financial Services Authority (OJK) to follow up on complaints submitted by BWS Lawfirm for alleged corporate crimes and alleged violations of the principle of banking caution committed by Maybank in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Spokesman Maybank Indonesia Bayu Irawan said he had no connection with the business relationship between the late Kent Lisandi and Rohmat Setiawan.
“The case that arises is in connection with business activities between the late Kent Lisandi and Rohmat Setiawan. Maybank Indonesia has no connection with business relations that arise,” Bayu told CNBC Indonesia, Tuesday (30/9/2025).
He continued, Aris is currently undergoing a trial process at the Central Jakarta District Court for a criminal report submitted by Kent’s attorney.
“Maybank Indonesia is always cooperative and cooperates with law enforcement officials related to criminal cases that arise,” said Bayu.
He later said, the Bank of Maybank from Malaysia, as a banking institution, entered into a financing agreement with Rohmat’s wife.
“In the financing agreement, there are no other parties including on behalf of KL. The financing given is also not a business activity that is claimed to be carried out by the hospital and the deceased,” explained Bayu.
To correct the developing information, Bayu continued, Maybank Indonesia was a disadvantaged party from the actions of the default of Rohmat’s wife towards the financing agreement.
The obligation to repay the financing provided is not carried out at maturity, so that Maybank Indonesia executes the guarantee given by Rohmat which is then claimed as funds sourced from the late Kent.
“The act of execution of collateral carried out by Maybank Indonesia is part of our responsibility as a bank with integrity in managing third party funds,” Bayu added.
