A FORENSIC audit of Bank Century by the Supreme Audit Agency, BPK, revealed that Rp1 billion was transferred from the bank’s major shareholder, Robert Tantular, to Bank Indonesia Deputy Governor Budi Mulya. Budi Mulya claims it was a personal loan but the KPK suspects otherwise. Was there a connection between a loan and a bank bailout? The personal transaction conveniently happened at a time when Bank Century went all-out to obtain liquidity assistance from the central bank in October 2008. What was the real motive behind Tantular’s loan to Budi Mulya?
