CIANJUR - The Cianjur District Attorney, West Java, has named three suspects in the alleged corruption case of capital participation from the Cianjur Regency Government to the Cianjur Regional Owned Enterprise (BUMD) Sugih Mukti amounting to Rp10 billion

Head of the Cianjur Prosecutor's Office, Yudi Prihastoro, said that the three suspects, AH as assistant manager or Spv sales, FMR, were Spv sales, and RTP Spv Operations.

The actions of the three suspects resulted in state financial losses of up to IDR 2.7 billion.

"The three suspects who are employees or people in the CSM BUMD make fictitious transactions from 2022 to 2023, where the purchase money from the company goes to the account of the suspect RTV as Operational Spv," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, February 1.

Some of the money was distributed to the suspect FMR as Spv Sales and some others to suspect AH.

To trick the transaction of money that goes to FMR, it is sent to several accounts as if there was a purchase transaction.

The money that had been sent, said Yudi, was sent back to the company as if there were sales transactions or payment of trade receivables and made fictitious sales invoices as if there were new sales transactions to customers.

"To pay the receivables of the companies, the three suspects made receipts and invoices for fake purchases using a fictitious name, so it seems that there is income and expenditure as payment for the proceeds of sales/payment of customer receivables," he said.

Meanwhile, every day, the remaining or excess of purchase or sale money collected by AH and FMR is used for their own personal needs. Even the suspects also used the money to pay for online loans and household needs.

"The three perpetrators were charged with Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption with a maximum threat of 20 years in prison," he said.

Yudi said the results of the calculation of state losses for the actions of the three reached Rp2.7 billion.

"The money is used by the suspects for their own personal interests, but we will investigate it in other investigations," he said.
