Aceh – Indonesia, The Financial Services Authority (OJK), alongside the Indonesian Attorney General’s Office and the Indonesian National Police, has strengthened synergy in enforcing the law against crimes in the financial services sector in Aceh Province.
This enhanced coordination was carried out through a Socialization on Crimes in the Financial Services Sector for prosecutors and police officers across Aceh, held at The Pade Hotel, Banda Aceh, on Wednesday (7/10/2026).
Head of OJK Aceh Province, Daddi Peryoga, stated that the event aimed to strengthen coordination and build a shared understanding between OJK and law enforcement agencies in handling various crimes in the financial services sector.
According to Daddi, there have been 7,454 reports related to financial sector crimes in Aceh to date, accounting for approximately 1.1 percent of total reports received nationwide.
“There are five main crime schemes: online shopping scams, social engineering, fake job offers, investment fraud, and digital scams, including video call fraud schemes,” Daddi explained.
He mentioned that OJK continues to boost prevention efforts through financial education and literacy for the public. Outreach programs have been conducted across 23 regencies and cities in Aceh in collaboration with local governments.
“For prevention, we have carried out outreach and literacy programs in 23 regencies and cities in Aceh. OJK is also collaborating with regional governments to improve public literacy,” he said.
Meanwhile, for the handling and follow-up of financial sector crime reports, OJK continues to coordinate closely with the police and prosecutors.
On the same occasion, Head of the Financial Services Sector Investigation Department at OJK, Feriansyah, emphasized that inter-agency coordination is crucial for increasing the effectiveness of handling financial crime cases.
Feriansyah noted that since OJK’s establishment under Law Number 21 of 2011 up until October 1, 2026, the authority has completed 187 financial sector crime cases that achieved P-21 status (complete case files).
Of that total, 143 cases involved banking crimes, 26 were related to insurance and pension funds, nine involved capital markets, and five were in the financing sector.
In addition to completing case files, OJK and law enforcement agencies have carried out various legal actions, ranging from naming suspects, arrests, and detentions to searches and asset seizures.
Thanks to its investigative performance, OJK was awarded Best Investigator in the Ministry/Agency Civil Servant Investigator (PPNS) category by the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) for four consecutive years, from 2022 to 2025.
The outreach session also addressed regulatory adjustments related to handling financial sector crimes, including provisions in Law Number 4 of 2026 on Amendments to Law Number 4 of 2023 regarding Financial Sector Development and Strengthening (P2SK).
This regulation covers restorative justice mechanisms that can be applied at various stages of legal proceedings, including investigations, inquiries, prosecutions, and court trials.
This approach focuses on restoring victim rights, rehabilitating perpetrators, and restoring social conditions. Out-of-court settlements may be selected as long as they comply with statutory provisions, while imprisonment serves as a last resort, or ultimum remedium.
Daddi reiterated that synergy among OJK, the police, and prosecutors is essential to ensure that financial sector crimes are handled effectively while providing public protection.
“We continue to collaborate with the police and prosecution service in following up on crimes within the financial services sector,” he added.
The event was also attended by Deputy Head of the Aceh High Prosecutor’s Office, Dr. Erry Pudyanto Marwantono, S.H., M.H., Head of OJK’s Financial Services Sector Investigation Department, Feriansyah, and Inspector of Regional Supervision (Irwasda) of the Aceh Regional Police, Senior Commissioner Iskandar ZA, S.I.K., M.Si.
Through this strengthened synergy, OJK hopes law enforcement in Aceh’s financial services sector will become more optimal, supporting financial system stability and improving public protection against various financial crime schemes.(rao)
