JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office has named two new suspects in the corruption case of School Operational Assistance (BOS) funds and Education Operational Costs (BOP) at the 53 West Jakarta Vocational High School (SMK).

"The two suspects we have identified are DA as the main director of CV Dian Vertikal, the second BH as the main director of CV Zona International People," said West Jakarta District Attorney Dwi Agus Arfianto as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, January 25.

Arfianto said the two suspects played a role in making an accountability letter (SPJ) and fictitious accounts.

The funds were then put into a fictitious account and then given to the two previous suspects, namely Widodo as the former head of SMKN 53 and Muhammad Faisal as a former staff of the West Jakarta Education Sub-dept. I.

Arfianto said the two suspects from the private sector were promised a sum of money to falsify the two documents.

However, Arfianto did not explain in detail how much the commitment fee (fee) received by the two suspects.

"There is a little 'fee' given to these two partners," he explained.

The prosecutor's office has also confiscated several pieces of evidence in the form of a fictitious SPJ to the bank statements used by the two suspects.

For their actions, the two suspects were charged with Article 2 and Article 3 of the Corruption Crime Act with a threat of 20 years in prison or a maximum fine of Rp. 1 billion.

Previously, Widodo as the former head of SMKN 53 and Muhammad Faisal as a former staff of the West Jakarta Education Sub-department I were named suspects for allegedly falsifying a fictitious letter of responsibility so that schools continue to receive BOS and BOP (Education Operational Costs) funds.

The funds are distributed to each teacher and school staff with the reason of distributing incentive money. The money was used by the two suspects to buy a villa.
