Central Lombok District Attorney's Office investigators submitted a file to investigate the fictitious credit corruption case of the Central Lombok People's Credit Bank (BPR) Batukliang Branch which allegedly involved a police officer with the initials IMS to the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police.

"We have submitted the investigation of the case involving the IMS to the NTB Police on Tuesday. It went directly to the Special Crimes Section of the Central Lombok Kejari, Hari Bratha Hariputra, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, May 4.

The reason the prosecutor's office submitted the investigation file for this case to the NTB Police was because the victims were all members of the police.

"That's why it's diverted to make it easy," he said.

Although the investigation into the IMS case continues with the police, the prosecutor's office still has a hand in the process of investigating files and prosecutions at trial.

"So, they are the fingerprint. Later we will try it," he said.

The prosecutor's office in this case has previously revealed the role of the two people responsible for the state loss of Rp. 2.38 billion.

Both are Jauhari, the former "account officer" who is responsible for managing Agus Fanahesa's financial bookkeeping and head of marketing.

The legal process between the two is currently underway at the cassation level of the Supreme Court. From the decision of the first instance court, Jauhari and Agus Fanahesa were sentenced to 2 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 200 million, subsidiary to 3 months in prison.

The judge also decided not to charge compensation for state losses to both of them, but to the IMS. With this determination, the judge also asked the prosecutor's office to immediately increase the status of handling the IMS investigation to the prosecution stage.

However, from the first instance court decision, the prosecutor's office filed an appeal on the grounds that the two of them also enjoyed state losses of Rp. 1 million each in accordance with the demands.

From the trial process at the appeal level of the West Nusa Tenggara High Court, the judge upheld the decision of the first instance court by not charging state compensation money to Jauhari and Agus Fanahesa.

The appeal judge also agreed with the consideration of the first-degree court judge that it was I Made Sudarmaya who enjoyed the country's entire loss on his own.

With this decision, the prosecutor's office again submitted a legal action to the Supreme Court.

The prosecutors in the indictment Agus Fanahesa and Jauhari explained that the fictitious credit case at the Central Lombok BPR Batukliang Branch emerged from arrears of payments.

The arrears were revealed due to profiteering for 199 members of the NTB Regional Police Ditsamapta with a loss of Rp2.38 billion.

The prosecutor also explained in the indictment that IMS while holding the position of Administrative Officer for Financial Affairs of the Directorate of Sabhara Polda NTB was the mastermind behind this fictitious credit case.

The IMS, which is now known to be on duty at the Bima City Police, is said to be in the indictment as a party enjoying a loan of IDR 2.38 billion. The loan value was recorded in the 2014-2017 credit application period.
