DENPASAR - The Denpasar District Attorney, Bali, has named two former administrators of the Serangan Village Credit Institution (LPD) as suspects in the 2015–2020 LPD fund corruption case.

Prosecutors believe that the perpetrators during their tenure manipulated the cash records of the Serangan LPD and made 17 fictitious credits that caused state losses of more than IDR 3 billion.

“The investigation team found sufficient preliminary evidence to determine who the suspect was. As for the perpetrators' modus operandi using the Serangan Traditional Village LPD funds, it is not by the work plan and the Serangan Traditional Village LPD Budget Plan", said Head of the Denpasar District Attorney of Intelligence Section, I Putu Eka Suyantha, Monday, June 6.

"The perpetrators enrich or benefit themselves, personally, or others", he said.
