Money Game Mode Found In The Case Of NTB Syariah Bank
JAKARTA - Investigators of banking crimes at the Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation of the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police (Polda) have revealed that there is a money game mode in transactions belonging to Bank NTB Syariah customers.
The Director of Special Criminal Investigation (Dirreskrimsus) of the NTB Police Grand Commissioner I Gusti Putu Gede Ekawana said the indications emerged in the form of manipulation of customer money transactions.
"For example, when a customer transfers money but the money is not sent directly to the destination account, instead it goes to another account related to the reported party," said Ekawana in Mataram, reported by Antara, Monday, August 23.
It is suspected that the reported person, in this case, is an employee with the position of a non-cash service provider with the initials PS.
This mode also, said Ekawana, is run like a "dig a hole, cover the hole" system. If there is a customer who complains about the delay in delivery, the person will collect the money from other transactions.
"So, there is a chain, some even 2 months to 3 months after the complaint, then it is processed. If no one complains, the transaction with the stop-over mode to the regulated account will continue," he said.

The findings, he continued, can be seen from the accounts of 440 customers. The modus operandi has been running for 8 years to collect Rp11.9 billion. The customer's funds are suspected to have flowed into personal accounts. "That's from about 440 customers. From the bank's report, yes, yesterday's value was Rp11.9 billion," he said.
Thus, investigators of the Banking Sub-Directorate II have now upgraded the status of their case handling to the investigation stage.
All witnesses who are being questioned at the investigation stage, he said, will be summoned again for questioning.
"Because these funds are bank funds, so the direction is to the banking sector. It's not corruption because there is no misappropriation of the regional budget. However, we'll see where the budget comes from," said Ekawana.
