Public Prosecutor (JPU) Albert Roni Santoso stated that the defendant Yunsak El Halcon was believed to have been found guilty in the primary indictment of Article 2 paragraph (1) of the Corruption Eradication Law in conjunction with Article 55 (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.

In the prosecutor's indictment, the defendant could not avoid a procedural error in purchasing medium-term debt securities or Medium Term Notes (MTN) at PT Sunprima Nusantara Financing (SNP) through charcoaler / agent of PT MNC Sekuritas for Bank Jambi investment.

The facts of the trial revealed that the defendant El Halcon's case of buying shares used state money with a system of several payments, but in reality, several stages of traffic jams occurred, because money flowed for personal gain so that the state suffered losses and the defendant's assets increased from transaction money.

The aggravating thing for the prosecutor's demands was that the defendant in the trial was uncooperative and complicated when giving testimony at trial while the mitigating matter between never being punished and the defendant was the backbone of the family.

In his indictment, the Public Prosecutor revealed at the trial that 2017-2018 deliberately bought Medium Term Notes issued by PT Sunprima Nusantara Financing (SNP) through charcoal/agent PT MNC Sekuritas, in the form of MTN stages I and II in 2017 worth IDR 50 billion and then MTN stage III IDR 48 billion while MTN V phase I in 2018 was worth IDR 100 billion then stage II IDR 32 billion.

In this case, the disbursement of funds without any analysis of MTN products issued by PT SNP or not applying the precautionary principle in the purchasing process and also implementing risk management of the MTN purchasing process is a series of methodologies and procedures used to identify, measure, monitor, and control the risks arising from all bank business activities, including when banks transact.

The trial also revealed that there was no written offer letter from PT MNC Sekuritas, and did not carry out supervision or monitoring of independent work units for MTN purchase transactions and was not mandated in the bank's internal SOP in the form of a Decree of the Board of Directors of PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jambi Number 40 of 2012.

This is contrary to Bank Indonesia Regulation Number 14/15/PBI/2012 dated October 24, 2012 concerning Commercial Bank Asset Quality Assessment, Article 2 paragraph (1), namely the provision of funds by banks must be carried out based on the principle of prudence.
