JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confirmed evidence in the form of documents related to the acceptance of new students from the University of Lampung (Unila) against a number of witnesses examined at the Bandarlampung Police, Wednesday, September 28. The KPK examined them in the investigation into the alleged bribery case of accepting new student candidates in Unila in 2022 for the inactive Unila Chancellor suspect Karomani (KRM) and his friends. "His knowledge was explored, among others, related to the confirmation of evidence of Unila's new student admission documents," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri in Jakarta, Antara, Thursday, September 29. A number of witnesses examined, including the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Unila Dyah Wulan Sumekar, the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Unila Helmy Fitriawan, Mualimin as a lecturer, the Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, Unila Irwan Sukri Banuwa, the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Uniala Suripto Dwi Yuwono. Next, the Head of the Unila Planning and Public Relations Bureau (Humas) Budi Sutomo, the Secretary of the Planning and Public Relations Bureau of Unila Shinta Agustina, BPP at the Planning and Public Relations Bureau of Unila Nurhati BR Ginting, and the Assistant Staff of the Chancellor I Unila Tri Widioko. In addition, Ali said investigators were also exploring the knowledge of the witnesses regarding the alleged existence of an order from the KRM suspect to condition the new student who had received the suspect's approval to be smoothed out. The KPK has named four suspects consisting of three as bribe recipients, namely Karomani (KRM), Deputy Chancellor I for Academics at Unila Heryandi (HY), and Chairman of the Unila Senate Muhammad Basri (MB). While the bribe giver is the private party Andi Desfiandi (AD). In the construction of the case, the KPK explained that KRM, which serves as Chancellor of Unila for the 2020-2024 period, has the authority regarding the Mandiri Exclusion mechanism for entering Lampung University (Simanila) for the 2022 Academic Year. During the Simanila process, the KPK suspects that KRM is actively involved in determining graduation by ordering HY, Budi Sutomo, and MB to select "personal" related to the ability of student parents. If you want to pass, prospective students can be helped by handing over some money, in addition to official money paid according to the specified mechanism to the university. In addition, KRM is suspected of providing special roles and tasks for HY, MB, and Budi Sutomo to collect a sum of money agreed with the parents of new student candidates. The amount of money varies from Rp. 100 million to Rp. 350 million for each parent of the selection participant who wants to be smoothed out. The entire money collected by KRM through Mualimin from the parents of the prospective students amounted to Rp603 million and had been used for KRM's personal needs of around Rp575 million. The KPK found that KRM received a sum of money through Budi Sutomo and MB from the parents of prospective students who were smoothed out by KRM on the orders of KRM. The money has been transferred in the form of deposit savings, gold bars, and is still stored in cash with a total of around IDR 4.4 billion.
