Polisi Setapkan 4 Kades Di Bojonegoro Tersangka Korupsi Dana BKK

The East Java (East Java) Regional Police have named four village heads in Bojonegoro Regency as suspects in the corruption case in the management of special financial assistance funds (BKK) phase I for the 2021 fiscal year.

Kanit I Unit III Corruption Ditreskrimsus Polda Jatim Kompol I Putu Angga Feriyana explained that this case was a continuation of the case with the defendant Bambang Sudjatmiko who was sentenced to seven years in prison in 2023.

"The case is a village road concrete rijid construction project. From this case, we have named four village heads as new suspects," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 8.

The four village heads named as suspects are the initials WST who are the Tebon Village Head, the initials SPR who is the Dengok Village Head, the initials SKR are the Purworejo Village Head, and SYF Kuncen Village Head, Padangan District.

Putu said that the defendant Bambang was a retired East Java Provincial Public Works Service (PU) who was also a contractor.

The modus operandi of the four suspects is the management of the BKK budget, which should have been auctioned but not carried out, but rather the direct appointment of Bambang Soedjatmiko, who was previously accused.

"Next is also the process of withdrawing the account budget not according to applicable procedures and directly handed over to Bambang's brother, which violates the applicable regulations set in the Perbup and procedures for managing goods and services for managing the BKK budget," he said.

Of that case, four villages in Bojonegoro suffered losses of Rp. 300 million each, and a total of Rp. 1.2 billion.

From the corruption case, the police confiscated the proposal document for the BKK assistance application, verification documents on the results of the field survey regarding the feasibility of obtaining the BKK, applications for disbursement of stage 1, village cash account books from four villages, receipts for handing over money from each village to the defendant Bambang.

"Based on the results of the examination, every village head has not made a profit because Bambang is still promised," he said.

Four suspects are subject to Article 2 paragraph (1) of the Anti-Corruption Law Number 31 of 1999 and amended to Law Number 20 of 2001, with the threat of a minimum sentence of four years, a maximum of life and a fine of at least Rp. 300 million at most Rp. 1 billion.
