The team secured the principal of SMKN 5 Bandung with the initials DN, the deputy principal with the initials EB, TTG and AT as contract employees, and TS as the operator.

They, he said, were members of the PPDB committee. From the hands of the PPDB committee, according to him, the money found was Rp. 40,750,000.00.

He said the money came from a deposit or donation of Rp. 23,700,000.00 and a scout fee of Rp. 17,250,000.00. In fact, he said, this is not allowed to be applied to new students.

"Well, Rp 40 million is from 44 parents if I'm not mistaken. However, not all of them have been paid," said Yudi.

The donation is Rp. 3 million per student, while the scout fee is Rp. 550 thousand/student. "The results of the deepening of this case will be brought to the trial court," he said.
