In this case, Muhammad and Nur Mayangsari also had the status of defendants who underwent their first trial with M. Tayeb.

So in the indictment, the prosecutor also revealed the role of two other defendants by first explaining that the Rp14.4 billion distribution budget came from the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture to help increase food production in Bima Regency.

It was recorded that 241 farmer groups (poktan) in Bima Regency were included in the list of beneficiaries with details of Rp8.9 billion for 158 poktan that manage 4,447 hectares of rice fields and Rp5.5 billion for 83 poktans with a rice area of 2,780 hectares.

When the budget has entered a poktan personal account, he continued, M. Tayeb as the official commitment maker issued an order to withdraw cash to the poktan. The money was requested to be collected back at the Bima Regency PTPH Service.

The appointment of CV Mitra Agro Santosa as a Saprodi provider is also under the orders of M. Tayeb. Goods purchased from the company include rice seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides.

"However, there are several items of goods that cannot be provided by CV Mitra Agro Santosa so that some are purchased from local provider companies," he said.

After the money was collected from the poktan, on the orders of M. Tayeb, Muhammad and Nur Mayangsari made a payment to CV Mitra Agro Santosa, which is located in Jombang, East Java.

Nur Mayangsari as Muhammad's subordinate also received orders to make two memorandums of saprodi orders for CV Mitra Agro Santosa with details of the first note amounting to Rp8.9 billion and for the second order Rp1.7 billion.
