Bandar Lampung Council Member Denies Rp 1.1 Billion Rental Car Embezzlement Allegation, Police Confirm Case Under Investigation

BANDAR LAMPUNG, KOMPAS.com - Yunika Indahayati, a Bandar Lampung City Council member from the Gerindra Party, spoke out after being reported to the Lampung Regional Police on allegations of embezzling several rental cars with claimed losses reaching Rp 1.16 billion.

Yunika denied the accusations and stated that her relationship with the reporter, identified as MD, has been good all along.

She also claimed that she has yet to undergo an official Investigation Report (BAP) or any clarifications from the police regarding the report.

"Essentially, my relationship with Mr. MD is very, very good," Yunika said on Sunday (20/9/2026).

According to Yunika, the relationship between her as the renter and the rental party has even been like that of siblings.

"Our relationship is very good, so I was very surprised by the news, which I think is completely untrue regarding embezzlement. Because the cars were clearly returned," she added.

Denies Rp 1.1 Billion Debt

Yunika also refuted claims of outstanding payments amounting to around Rp 1.1 billion as stated by the reporter.

She said that if there is any unclear calculation, she has invited the reporter to recalculate the outstanding amount.

"But fortunately, Alhamdulillah, it was not responded to by D (MD)," Yunika emphasized.

She asserted that there is no outstanding debt of the amount mentioned by the reporter.

According to Yunika, the delay in returning the cars was only for two days.

"None of that is true, especially if it comes to investigation and inquiry stages; I haven't even been given any clarification by the police," she said.

"Up until now, there has been no BAP, no clarification. Even if there was a summons, I did not receive it," she added.

Reporter Claims Losses of Rp 1.16 Billion

Meanwhile, MD previously reported Yunika to the Lampung Police over allegations of embezzling several rental cars.

The report is registered under number LP/B/593/VIII/2026/SPKT/POLDA LAMPUNG dated August 7, 2026.
