BANDA ACEH - Head of the Bireuen District Attorney's Office (Kajari), Aceh Province, Munawal Hadi said that the determination of the suspect in the alleged corruption of regional government capital participation in the Sharia People's Credit Bank (BPRS) of Juang City, Bireuen Regency, is still waiting for the results of the audit of state losses.

"Currently, the audit or calculation of state losses is still being carried out by related parties. So, investigators are still waiting for the results of the audit before the determination of the suspect in this case," said Munawal Hadi as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, August 2.

Munawal Hadi said the audit of state losses was carried out by related parties. Investigators hope that the audit of state losses will be completed soon and the determination of the suspect can be carried out, so that the case can be immediately transferred to the court.

In addition to auditing state losses, investigators are still working to collect evidence and statements from witnesses. The 46 witnesses who have been examined include the Bireuen Regency Government and the Juang City BPRS, Bireuen Regency.

"Investigators have also pocketed a number of potential suspects. Determination of the names of the suspects after investigators received the results of the audit of state losses caused in the alleged corruption crime," said Munawal Hadi.

Previously, the Bireuen Regency Government allocated funds for capital participation at the Juang City BPRS in the 2019 budget year amounting to Rp1 billion and the 2021 budget year Rp500 million.

Based on the results of the investigation and investigation, said Munawal, it is suspected that there was a game from the beginning to the implementation of capital participation in the bank, so it should be suspected that it caused state losses.

"In addition, it was also found in the administrative inclusion process. Where there should be some letters that must be fulfilled, but these conditions have never been met," he said.

According to Munawal Hadi, the conditions that were not met ranged from the compiler to the implementation of the budget. In the implementation of the budget by BPRS, it also does not apply the precautionary principle, such as financing which causes the bank to suffer losses.

"The regional government's capital participation fund is state money, which should be managed with the precautionary principle. In its management, investigators find that the state money is intended not according to the mechanism," said Munawal Hadi.
