DENPASAR - The Public Prosecutor (JPU) in a trial at the Denpasar Corruption Court, Bali, stated that the proceeds from the collection of donations from the development of the Udayana University (Unud) institution (SPI) amounting to Rp335 billion were deposited in several banks.

Public Prosecutor Sefran Haryadi and his friends in the indictment read out at the Denpasar Corruption Building, Friday (20/10) stated that the total receipt of SPI money for the period of the 2018/2019 academic year to the academic year 2022/2023 was IDR 335,352,810,691 from 9,801 prospective new students at Udayana University for self-selection who were collected outside the provisions of the Minister of Finance Regulation Number 51/PMK.05/2015 and PMK Number 95/PMK.05.2020.

In fact, part of the total receipts, which amounted to Rp4,244,902,100 out of 401 prospective students, were collected without a basis at all.

At the trial, the Public Prosecutor revealed that the proceeds from the 2018/2019/2019 academic year SPI levy to 2021/2022 were initially only accommodated in a holding account at Bank Mandiri with account number 1750022339898 on behalf of RPL 037 BLU UNIVERSITY UDAYANA for SPI OPS JALUR MANDIRI.

However, since the academic year 2022/2023 several banks have been accommodated, namely Bank Mandiri with account number 1750022339898 on behalf of RPL 037 BLU UNIVERSITY UDAYANA for SPI OPS JALUR MANDIRI, Bank BNI with account number 2902201260 on behalf of RPL 037 Udayana University for BLU revenue operations.

Then Bank BPD Bali with account number 011.01.21.000.2-2 in the name of RPL 037 BLU UNUD UTK OPS, Bank BTN with account number 00007.01.30.891 in the name of RPL 037 BLU UNUD UTK OPS, Bank BRI with account number 5560100153306 in the name of RPL 037 BLU UNUDK OPS.

The public prosecutor assessed that the placement of money in several banks was an attempt to obscure the origin of money from the legal receipt of BLU with these unfunded levies.

"It is as if it are legal levies and become non-tax state revenues that are deliberately mixed with the receipt of the Udayana University public service agency, thus blurring the origin of the legal and illegal money, whose utilization has also become vague because they cannot distinguish illegal acceptance from other legitimate BLU revenues," said the Public Prosecutor in front of the Panel of Judges Putu Ayu Sudariasah and members of Gede Putra Astawa and Nelson reported by ANTARA, Friday, October 20.

The Public Prosecutor explained that the proceeds from the SPI levy, which were used based on academic papers for institutional development donations, should have been used and used for the construction of facilities and infrastructure or the development of human resources, instead in its implementation it was still stored in several bank accounts.

"From the illegal receipt, there was an addition of Unud PNBP whose management, including deposited in a bank account with the aim of obtaining facilities from the bank," said the prosecutor.

Thanks to the efforts to collect money from several banks, he said, Unud received several facilities, including in 2020 the provision of two Innova cars from Bank BNI which were then enjoyed by officials and or employees of Udayana University.

Then the Chancellor of Unud Prof. Dr. Ir. I Nyoman Gde Antara after serving as Chancellor of Udayana University has taken advantage of the acceptance of the Udayana University public service agency (BLU) which has mixed between donations from the development of institutions and other incomes at Bank BPD Bali No account 034 01 05000020 which was opened on October 7, 2021.

Then on October 13, 2021, BLU's cash was transferred to the account by transfer of Rp. 10,000,000,000 with the intention that Udayana University obtain a status as a special customer or customer who gets various facilities and conveniences.

The account number is also used to accommodate deposit interest from deposit accounts at the Bali BPD Denpasar Branch of IDR 285 million per month for 10 months (every 25th of every month from February to November 2022), with a total deposit interest affiliate of IDR 2.85 billion with a balance as of August 31, 2023 of IDR 13,276,779,856.

"Since the account was opened until now, there has never been a withdrawal of funds because there is an agreement between witness Prof. Dr. Ir. I Nyoman Gde Antara, M.Eng, IPU as Chancellor of Udayana University with Bank BPD Bali related to the nominal balance of the giro which must be deposited in the account, so that BPD Bali provides business participation in the form of Toyota Innova operational vehicles," said the prosecutor in the indictment against the defendant Nyoman Putra Sastra.

In addition, witness Prof. Dr. Ir. I Nyoman Gde Antara, Eng, IPU has also opened a revenue operational account at Bank BTN with account number 000 7 01 30 000 8891 (For SPI and UKT Education service accounts) which was opened on March 30, 2022, with a balance as of August 31, 2023 of IDR 55,232,688,249.
