The witness in the case of alleged corruption in the DIPA Police Academy (Akpol) Semarang funds revealed that there was a practice of giving fees of 3 percent to third parties or partners in the process of shopping for goods at the educational institutions for prospective police.

It was the Assistant Treasurer of the Working Unit for Profession and Technology of Semarang Police Academy Mulyoko as a witness who said this in the trial of the corruption case of the Budget Implementation List (DIPA) of Akpol with the accused Accounting and Verification Affairs Officer of the Semarang Police Academy, Mardiyono, at the Semarang Corruption Court, Wednesday, January 17.

"For example, partners for shopping for office stationery," he said.

In addition to fees, he continued, work units also often ask for bailout funds from third parties for the implementation of activities at the beginning of the year.

"For example, practice activities in January, but there is no budget yet, so ask partners for a bailout," he said.

He added that the partners who were asked for bailout funds were a third party whose names were already in the proposal for activities that would later carry out work.

According to him, the amount of bailout funds does not exceed the needs of the activity budget and will later be returned without deductions.

He said the fee to partners was given for the procurement of goods that had been designed in the proposal.

Previously, the Semarang Police Academy Finance Accounting and Verification Affairs Officer Mardiyono was charged with corruption in DIPA funds for the educational institution for the police candidate.

The amount of funds suspected of being corrupted from 2013 to 2018 reached Rp615 million.
