The Sumbawa District Attorney's Office has revealed that it is investigating the alleged corruption case at Bank Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) Syariah in managing people's business credit funds (KUR) for the period 2018 to 2022 worth IDR 8 billion.

Head of the Special Crimes Section of the Sumbawa Kejari, Indra Zulkarnaen, confirmed that there was an investigation into the alleged corruption case in the body of the regional company.

"Yes, the handling is still ongoing at the stage of collecting data and information," said Indra as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, November 14.

He explained that the management of KUR funds that were suspected of having problems was related to the list of fictitious recipients. There is also a unilateral increase in credit ceilings allegedly committed by unscrupulous bank employees.

Indra stated that indications of unlawful acts from this case have been seen to the surface. Now the prosecutor's office is just investigating the statements of the parties.

"So, for this case there is already an alleged criminal act, we just have to investigate it again," he said.

The deepening, he explained, was more aimed at internal banking requests. One of them is the branch leader in Sumbawa Regency.

"The branch leadership is included in our agenda. In the near future we will ask for information," he said.

Indra was reluctant to provide other information from the handling of this case. He only said that his party could explain the problem after the case rose to the investigation stage.

"So please pray and support so that this case is clear in the eyes of the law. If later we are sure that there is an unlawful act, we will convey developments," he said.
