JAKARTA - Investigators from the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) have named three corruption suspects in the issuance of bank guarantees on behalf of PT Duta Cipta Pakarperkasa at Bank Jatim Jakarta Branch.

Assistant for Special Crimes (Aspidsus) for the DKI Jakarta Prosecutor's Office Abdul Qohar said the three suspects were HPS as the head of Bank Jatim Jakarta Branch in 2018-2019, LK as Acting Head of Bank Jatim Jakarta Branch/Head of Sub-Branch Kelapa Gading Bank Jatim in 2018-2019 and K as a representative of PT Duta Cipta Pakarperkasa.

This case started because there was a bank guarantee issued in the name of PT Duta Cipta Pakarperkasa at Bank Jatim Jakarta Branch which violated the terms and conditions of issuance, including PT Duta Cipta Pakarperkasa having a collectability risk of 5 (lost) in terms of payment.

Then the company is also not supported by insurance because the agreement between Bank Jatim and insurance expired on March 23, 2019, before the 2nd bank guarantee came out.

Then Cash Core (collateral) does not reach 100 percent, but it is still processed or continued on orders from the suspect LK and HPS so that it violates the provisions of the Decree of the Board of Directors of Bank Jatim Number SK: 057/296/DIR/PGP/PMK/KEP dated September 25, 2018 Chapter IX concerning the Issuance of Bank Guarantees which resulted in state financial losses and benefited PT Duta Cipta Pakarperkasa in the amount of IDR 107 billion.

For the unlawful act, the suspects received a kickback from the issuance of the Bank Jatim Advance Payment Guarantee amounting to Rp 2.6 billion, said Abdul Qohar.

To speed up the investigation process, the Jakarta Attorney General's Office detained the three suspects at the Salemba Detention Center at the South Jakarta District Attorney's Office for 20 days, November 10, 2021.

Investigators ensnared HPS and LK suspects under Article 2 paragraph (1), Article 3, Article 11, Article 12 letter b Juncto Article 18 paragraph (1) letter b of the Corruption Eradication Law Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.

Meanwhile, suspect K is charged with Article 2 paragraph (1), Article 3, Article 5 paragraph (1), Article 13 Juncto Article 18 paragraph (1) letter b of the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes Juncto Article 55 paragraph (1) to -1 of the Criminal Code.
