The Central Java High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) has arrested Agus Hartono, a suspect in a case of alleged corruption in the provision of credit facilities at Bank BJB Semarang branch. The arrests were made at Ahmad Yani Airport, Semarang, Central Java, Thursday 22 December.

Head of the Legal Information Section of the Central Java Prosecutor's Office, Bambang Tejo, said the arrest was a forced attempt after being absent from the investigator's summons.

"He was secured because after being properly summoned the person concerned was not present to fulfill the investigator's summons," he said in Central Java, confiscated by Antara, Thursday, December 22.

Agus Hartono is a suspect in the alleged corruption case in the provision of credit facilities at Bank BJB Semarang Branch using PT Seruni Prima Perkasa in 2017.

The credit disbursement, he said, used a fake purchase order.

In addition, he said, the use of credit was not in accordance with the purpose of applying for credit.

Based on the calculation of the Central Java Representative Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP), according to him, the state losses that occurred reached Rp. 25 billion.

Previously, the Head of the Central Java Attorney General's Office, I Made Suarnawan, said that there were several warrants for the investigation of the alleged corruption case on behalf of Agus Hartono.

Agus Hartono himself had filed a pretrial against the alleged corruption case and was granted by the Semarang District Court.

According to Suarnawan, the prosecutor's office respects the pretrial decision which concerns the alleged corruption at Bank Mandiri.
