JAKARTA - Investigators from the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office examined three witnesses in the alleged corruption case in the issuance of a bank guarantee (down payment guarantee) PT Duta Cipta Pakarperkasa, to Bank Jatim Jakarta Branch in 2018 and 2019.

Head of the Legal Information Section (Kasi Penkum) of the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) Ashari Syam said the three witnesses, namely TH, AWH and YPA, Friday, November 19.

The witness TH was examined in relation to the analysis of the issuance of bank guarantees. Meanwhile, AWH is being investigated regarding payment of bank guarantees and YPA is related to bank guarantee insurance that has been approved by Bank Jatim Jakarta Branch.

The three witnesses were examined for LK, HPS and K who have been named as suspects for corruption in the issuance of bank guarantees on behalf of PT Duta Cipta Pakarperkasa at Bank Jatim Jakarta Branch.

This case began when 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 the "Cash Coreteral" (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 amounting to Rp. 107 billion.

Investigators ensnared the suspect HPS and LK with Article 2 paragraph (1), Article 3, Article 11, Article 12 letter b Juncto Article 18 paragraph (1) letter b Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption Juncto Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.

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 Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes Juncto Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
