He conveyed this after attending a meeting with Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, at the parliamentary complex on Tuesday.
The meeting was also attended by Sister Natalia Situmorang, treasurer of Aek Nabara Parish Credit Union.
"We have found a solution with Aek Nabara Parish Credit Union so that by tomorrow, April 22, 2026, we can return the funds belonging to Aek Nabara Parish Credit Union," Setyawan noted.
The bank will return the funds allegedly embezzled in full, amounting to approximately Rp28 billion (US$1.5 million).
He then expressed his gratitude for President Prabowo Subianto's attention to this case.
Sister Natalia also expressed her gratitude to the President, government officials, BNI, and the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) for their attention, which has resulted in the resolution of the case involving the Aek Nabara Parish congregation.
"We hope this process goes smoothly. Once again, may this be a blessing for all of us," she conveyed.
Previously, the Financial Services Authority (OJK) urged BNI to immediately resolve the case involving customers at the BNI Aek Nabara Branch Office in North Sumatra.
OJK stated that the losses in this case reached approximately Rp28 billion. According to the OJK, BNI has already refunded Rp7 billion (US$396 thousand) to customers. The settlement is expected to be swift and transparent.
In this case, the North Sumatra Regional Police have arrested the former Head of Cash at the BNI Aek Nabara Unit in Rantauprapat, identified as AHF. The suspect was arrested after returning from an overseas trip.
"Together with Kualanamu International Airport Immigration officers, we arrested AHF upon his arrival in Indonesia this morning," the Director of Special Criminal Investigation at the North Sumatra Regional Police, Senior Commissioner Rahmat Budi Handoko, said on March 30.
The case of embezzlement of congregation funds was reported to the North Sumatra Regional Police on February 26, 2026. The report was filed by Muhammad Camel, Branch Manager of BNI Rantauprapat, after discovering alleged irregularities in customer fund transactions.
