The Bima District Attorney's Special Crime Investigator has arrested a suspect in the alleged corruption case of funds from the Regional Bank of West Nusa Tenggara People's Credit Company Sape Branch with the initials AR (54).

"We are worried that the suspect fled, damaged or lost evidence and or repeated the criminal act as regulated by the Criminal Procedure Code, that is the consideration of the suspect's detention," said Head of the Intelligence Section of the Bima Kejari, Debi F. Fauzi, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, November 27.

This detention began with AR today. Investigators left AR's detention at the Class IIB Raba Correctional Institution (Lapas), Bima City.

"For the next 20 days, the suspect will undergo his first detention period," said Deni.

In this case, investigators named two suspects. Apart from AR, there is one more suspect who is now on the wanted list (DPO) of the Prosecutor's Office with the initials IS.

Untuk upaya pencarian, Debi memastikan pihaknya sudah berkoordinasi dengan Tim Penangkap Fugitive (Tabur) Kejaksaan Agung untuk menelusuri informasi yang memperkuat keberadaan IS di luar negeri.

"The IS suspect remains in search, information that states abroad, we are still monitoring it," he said.

The IS suspect in this case is a former staff member of disbursement of funds and credit at PD BPR NTB Sape Branch, while suspect AR, who began to undergo detention, was a former employee of PD BPR NTB who previously served as a deposit recipient.

In the file, both are suspected of being involved in embezzling customer deposits, both in the form of savings, deposits, and credit.

The two suspects carried out the mode of taking customer deposits without recording in the bookkeeping document. Deposit money is allegedly enjoyed by the two suspects.

To cover this mode, the two suspects submitted proof of original deposit from PD BPR NTB to customers.

This mode was revealed in the 2014 to 2017 budget management period which caused state losses of IDR 548 million.
