2 Bank DKI Officials Arrested Due To Alleged Corruption, This Is The Response Of The Deputy Governor Of DKI Riza Patria

JAKARTA - The Central Jakarta District Prosecutor's Office has arrested and detained two high-ranking Jakarta bank officials and a private party in a criminal act of corruption in providing credit facilities for KPA apartment ownership in cash.

In response to this, the Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, fully handed over the handling of the case to the authorities.

"Regarding this (the detention of two leaders of Bank DKI), we leave it to the law enforcement agencies," said Riza at City Hall, Central Jakarta, Thursday, November 18.

Previously, the Head of the Central Jakarta District Attorney's Office, Bima Suprayoga, said that the detention of this alleged corruption case was carried out based on Detention Orders No. 775/776 and 777.

"The three suspects that we have detained are RISE as president director of PT Brothbish Asia, the second is MT as the head of the Muara Angke sub-branch of Bank DKI, the third is JPSE as the head of Bank DKI Permata Hijau branch," Bima said in his statement.

Bima explained that there were irregularities in the process of giving KPA cash in stages to Bank DKI Muara Angke Branch and Bank DKI Permata Hijau Branch, namely falsifying data on debtors.

In fact, said Bima, in reality the debtor has never applied for credit to the DKI bank.

"One more thing we found, there is no guarantee for the gradual cash KPA that has been disbursed by Bank DKI. As a result, the cash KPA credit gradually becomes non-performing, which results in losses," explained Bima.

Thus, the case of falsifying data on the provision of KPA Tunai credit facilities from Bank DKI Muara Angke Sub-branch and Bank DKI Permata Hijau Branch to PT Brothbish in 2011-2017 cost the state finances around Rp. 39 billion.

The three suspects are suspected of violating primary Article 2 Paragraph 1 subsidiary Article 3 Juncto Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption which has been amended or added to Law Number 20 of 2021 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.
