SUMBAWA - The Sumbawa District Attorney (Kejari) has raised the status of a case of alleged corruption in people's business credit funds (KUR) at a state-owned bank in Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

"Yes, from the results of the case title, we will increase the handling to the investigation stage," said Head of the Special Crimes Section of the Sumbawa Kejari, Indra Zulkarnaen in Mataram, NTB, Tuesday, September 12, confiscated by Antara.

Improved handling status, he explained, based on the results of the case title which has found elements of unlawful acts

"So, the elements of unlawful acts in this matter already exist," he said.

By increasing the status of case handling to the investigation stage, Indra said that his party is currently strengthening evidence, one of which is through the agenda of examining witnesses.

"Who are the witnesses? Those we have questioned at the investigation stage. So, they are just exploring the information," he said.

In handling this case, he said that his party was still conducting public investigations. Therefore, the role of the suspect has not been revealed.

"For the suspect? Not yet. We will investigate first from the testimony of witnesses and other evidence," said Indra.

The distribution of KUR funds to farmers in Moyo Hulu District, Sumbawa Regency, entered the prosecutor's desk starting with the findings of a bank that collects credit installment payments.

It was revealed that the distribution of KUR funds was not in accordance with procedures. Funds were disbursed through Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes). The amount disbursed was IDR 3.1 billion for 59 farmers in three villages in the Moyo Hulu District, Sumbawa Regency.

The application for KUR funds through BUMDes is an initiation from the treasurer by applying for a loan of IDR 50 million per farmer.

From the bank's search, it was also revealed that every farmer did not receive a loan of IDR 50 million according to the initial proposal. Instead, the farmers only receive IDR 5 million per person.

Indra said to calculate the state's losses in this case, investigators had no attempt to cooperate with auditors. Instead, the prosecutor is still using the findings of the bank with a disbursement value of IDR 3.1 billion as a state loss figure.
