Fictitious Transaction Session Of IDR 2.5 Billion Red Plate Bank In Senakin, South Kalimantan, 4 Witnesses Present

JAKARTA - The case of corruption in fictitious transactions of Rp2.5 billion in customer funds with the defendant Faisal Mukti, the former head of the state-owned bank unit Senakin, Kotabaru Regency, South Kalimantan (Kalsel) and Ahmad Maulana as a former teller, was held today, Friday 19 September.

"The trial agenda presented four witnesses from BRI internally, namely M Rizki, Reka Rizalni, Aldi, and Edi Hariyanto," said the head of the panel of judges at the Banjarmasin Corruption Court (Tipikor), Cahyono Riza Adrianto in Banjarmasin, Friday, confiscated by Antara.

In front of the panel of judges, the witnesses explained the cash deposit procedures for customers who used red and blue slips.

Their statements led to the practice carried out by the defendant, former unit head Faisal Mukti and former teller Ahmad Maulana.

The defendant's attorney, Rahadian Noor, said that the testimony confirmed that the transaction on behalf of the customer was carried out directly by the two defendants, allegedly without the account owner knowing.

The witness explained that it was true that there was a user ID transfer between the old teller and the new teller, so that the defendant's transaction could be carried out. Customers themselves don't know about it," Rahadian explained after the trial.

Rahadian said internally from the defendant's statement, customers did not know.

"They never complain, because in data there is no immediate loss in the account," he said.

In this case, Faisal Mukti and Ahmad Maulana as state-owned bank employees were charged with carrying out 38 fictitious transactions from August to October 2023 with state losses of more than IDR 2.5 billion.

The mode used is to record cash deposits in the New Delivery System (NDS) system without physical money entering, utilizing the unit head's user ID access that is loaned to tellers.
