The Mataram District Attorney's Special Crime Investigator, West Nusa Tenggara, pocketed the results of an audit of state financial losses in a case of alleged corruption in the distribution of people's business credit funds (KUR), one of the conventional state-owned banks. "The results of the audit stated that the state loss in this case was Rp. 1.6 billion," said Head of the Special Crimes Section of the Mataram Kejari Mardiono in Mataram, as reported by Antara, Monday, December 18. The results of the audit, he explained, were received from the NTB Representative Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP). "The number of losses arises in the distribution of KUR funds proposed in 2020-2021 from two units with 112 customers," he said. Regarding the difference in the number of losses that was quite far between the results of the BPKP audit of Rp. 1.6 billion and the findings of the banking internal supervisory unit (SPI) worth Rp. 6 billion, Mardiono said that investigators had heard the explanation from the BPKP. "So, there are several customers whose names are used to borrow KUR funds, they still choose to pay credit even though they don't enjoy loan money," he said. From the customer's confession, he explained, the credit payment effort was made to restore the names of those on the bank's blacklist. "So, there are several customers even though they don't enjoy KUR money, they still want to pay credit so that their names are clean at BI Checking," he said. With the results of an audit from BPKP, Mardiono said investigators would conduct a case title in determining the role of the suspect. He revealed that his party also targets the completion of this case to take place before the end of the year. "Maybe later (the suspects) will be more than two people, but that's just waiting for the results of the title," he said. Kejari Mataram menangani kasus ini berawal dari adanya temuan SPI perbankan senilai Rp6 miliar. Temuan tersebut datang dari hasil audit pengelolaan dana KUR yang berada di tingkat unit, yakni di wilayah Kebon Roek, Kota Mataram, dan Gerung, Kabupaten Lombok Barat. In details, a potential loss of IDR 4 billion appeared in work in the Kebon Roek area and IDR 2 billion for the Gerung area.

The potential loss to the state is the calculation of the number of customers who receive KUR funds. For the Kebon Roek area, 112 customers and Gerung, 49 customers. Then, the nominal disbursement of KUR funds per customer varies, depending on the submission category, both micro KUR and small KUR with a maximum disbursement value of IDR 100 million.
