MATARAM - The West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police exposed the lies of the suspect with the initials PS who stumbled on the "money game" case at the NTB Syariah Bank.

"It turns out that he (PS) was just pretending, he wasn't mentally ill or sick of any kind," said the Director of the Special Crime Investigation Unit (Dirreskrimsus) of the NTB Polda Kombes I Gusti Putu Gede Ekawana in Mataram, quoted by Antara, Thursday, December 16.

This is based on the results of the PS health examination issued by the Bhayangkara Hospital in Mataram. The mode of this former non-cash service supervisor is suspected to be only to deceive investigators' examination.

With the release of the results of the health examination of suspect PS, Ekawana ensured that investigators would schedule an examination whose case handling status is in the final investigation stage.

"We will call again later for inspection, it has been scheduled," he said.

Ekawana also ensured that the investigation of the suspect will continue, following the handling of this case, having completed the evidence that strengthens PS's role as a suspect, both from witness statements and the state loss resulting from an independent audit of Rp. 11.9 billion.

"Even if the person concerned returns to be sick, we have already involved expert doctors and psychologists. So whatever the reason, the investigation will continue," he said.

Based on investigators' investigation, the state money was allegedly only enjoyed by PS. There has been no suspicion of the flow of money leading to other parties.

PS mode reaps such benefits with a system like "dig a hole, close the hole". Every time there is a customer complaint related to the lack of nominal savings, PS covers it by taking it from another customer's account.

This mode is suspected to have occurred since 2012. Because they are mutually closed, this mode is not detected by the Internal Control System (SPI). The mode was revealed for the 2019-2020 period, after PS left his position as supervisor of cashless services.

The investigation into the alleged "money game" case at Bank NTB Syariah began with a report. From the investigation, the losses emerged from the transaction funds of 440 Bank NTB Syariah customers. There are allegations of the role of insiders who deliberately manipulate the transactions of hundreds of customer accounts.
