JAMBI - Jambi High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) handed over case files of 3 suspected corruption suspects who failed to pay PT Sunprima Nusantara Pembiayaan (PT SNP) mid-term debt securities to Bank Jambi.

The three are Yunsak El Hacon (YEH) as Marketing Director of Bank Jambi in 2016-2020 and former President Director of Bank Jambi.

Furthermore, Andri Irvandi (AI) as the Acting Director of Capital Market for PT MNC Sekuritas in 2016-2019, and Dadang Suryanto (DS) as Director of Investment Banking for PT MNC Sekuritas in 2014-2019.

Head of the Information and Legal Section of the Jambi Prosecutor's Office, Lexy Fatharany, in Jambi, Thursday, August 24, said that the Jambi Attorney General's Office had prepared 14 prosecutors to face a corruption case trial which was estimated to cost the state Rp310 billion.

In this alleged corruption case, the Jambi Attorney General's Office has named four suspects.

Apart from YEH, AI and DS, other suspects are LD as Director of PT Kalimantanbindo Perdana-Cash and Credit/Director of PT Citra Prima Mandiri (Columbia) or son of Leo Candra (main commissioner/owner of PT SNP).

Of the four suspects, LD fled on the wanted list (DPO). Meanwhile, another suspect, AI, is serving a sentence in another case at the Class II A Bukittinggi Prison, West Sumatra.

The case began in 2017 and 2018 when Bank Jambi invested in the placement of funds at PT SNP in the form of purchasing medium-term debt securities or Medium Term Note (MTN).

In the MTN issuance process, PT SNP (as an issuer/biter) has used financial reports whose data is manipulated so that the company's financial condition seems to look healthy and has good business prospects.

In fact, the fact is that since 2010 PT SNP has experienced financial difficulties as seen from the company's cash flow, namely money coming out more than money coming in.

The data on financial reports that were not in accordance with the actual facts were then used by PT MNC Sekuritas (as an arranger appointed by PT SNP) in compiling MTN offering documents for PT SNP in the form of memorandum info and teasers to be submitted to potential investors, one of which is Bank Jambi.

In addition, there was also an agreement to provide an unofficial fee which was an unnatural advantage from PT SNP to PT MNC Sekuritas of 3 percent, which was given through PT Tunas Tri Artha, which seemed to act as a selling agent from PT. MNC Sekuritas.

This 3 percent fee was then used by PT MNC Sekuritas to launch its business by making a number of gifts, including houses, money, cars, big motorbikes, savings and ATMs, and travel costs abroad to certain parties at Bank Jambi so that Bank Jambi was willing to place funds by buying MTN PT SNP without going through the proper procedure.

"In the midst of the MTN's travel period, PT SNP was unable to pay a coup or MTN interest to Bank Jambi and suffered default when it matured, resulting in state financial losses of Rp. 310,118,271,000," said Elan Suherlan.
