DENPASAR - The Bali High Prosecutor's Office confiscated 149 fictitious credit documents for alleged corruption of the Sangeh Traditional Village Credit Institution (LPD) of more than Rp130 billion.

"Meanwhile, 149 documents that are suspected to be fictitious credits were found," said Head of the Legal Information Section (Kasi Penkum) of the Bali High Court (Kejati) A Luga Harlianto, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, March 30.

He said that currently research was still being done on the documents of three boxes that were secured by investigators from the Sangeh LPD search.

There are also 149 documents that are fictitious credit documents found from the results of the Sangeh LPD investigation. Until now, said Luga, the investigation team was still collecting evidence related to the case.

"As soon as we can review all the documents so that we can determine whether we need further witness testimony or not before announcing the case for determining the suspect," said Luga.

For the calculation of temporary losses during the investigation, which was more than Rp. 130 billion. He said, this calculation will be explored further so that real and definite state losses are obtained.

Previously, investigators found several weaknesses that caused the Sangeh LPD to suffer losses, including the Sangeh Traditional Village LPD not having a written standard operating procedure (SOP) both in terms of providing loans, time deposits and savings.

In addition, the lack of competence and honesty of human resources in the Sangeh Traditional Village LPD in compiling financial reports.
