CENTRAL LOMBOK - Special Criminal Investigators of the Central Lombok District Attorney's Office coordinated with the NTB Police's Specific Crime Unit in handling the alleged corruption case of Bank Percreditable People's Credit (BPR) Batukliang Branch. Head of the Special Unitary Section of the Central Lombok Kejari, Bratha Hariputra, said that this coordination was part of the prosecutor's efforts to develop an investigation into the alleged fictitious credit case of the BPR which used the names of 199 members of the National Police. "So, we will reopen the investigation of this case and continue. The initial step was to coordinate with the Tipidter section of the NTB Police," said Bratha who was met in Mataram, Antara, Friday, September 23. This coordination relates to the appearance of Made Sudarmaya as a witness at the trial. Made Sudarmaya is a member of the National Police who is suspected of being the mastermind behind the cause of fiqf credit at the Batukliang Branch BPR which resulted in state losses of Rp. 2.38 billion. In his testimony at the trial of Agus Fanahesa and Johari, two defendants from the Batukliang Branch BPR, Made Sudarmaya, have admitted that he had applied for credit to the Batukliang Branch BPR by using the name of 199 members of the National Police. The credit application occurred in the period 2014 to 2017 when Made Sudarmaya held the position of Administrative Officer for Financial Affairs of the Directorate of Sabhara Polda NTB. From Made Sudarmaya's statement, it was revealed that five other members of the National Police were involved in profiteering the names of Polri members for the credit application. When the case was in the process of being investigated, Made Sudarmaya never complied with the prosecutor's summons to undergo examination as a witness. This then became the basis for the prosecutor's office to regulate the investigation strategy by first transferring the case files of Agus Fanahesa and Johari to the Mataram Corruption Court. Bratha also admitted that his party had not been able to determine who would bear the burden of compensation for state losses because the role of the two defendants was related to abuse of authority which resulted in state losses. With Made Sudarmaya's appearance at the trial, Bratha is optimistic that in the process of developing this case, all roles involved will be revealed, including those who will bear the burden of money to compensate for state losses and who also enjoy the disbursement of fictitious loans. In this case, Johari became a defendant along with Agus Fanahesa. Johari served as Account Officer at the BPR Batukliang Branch, while Agus Fanahesa at that time served as Head of Marketing for BPR Batukliang Branch. Both were charged with being involved in disbursing fictitious loans of 199 members of the National Police, causing a loss of Rp. 2.38 billion. The loss arose during the credit disbursement period from 2014 to 2017. The two defendants were charged with Article 2 paragraph 1 and/or Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 paragraph 1 letter b of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 2009 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 1 of the Criminal Code.
