The suspect in the alleged corruption case of embezzlement of funds from local bank customers of the West Nusa Tenggara People's Credit Bank (PD BPR NTB) Sape Branch with the initials IS was detected by the prosecutor's office as an Indonesian Migrant Worker (PMI) in Korea. "The information is like that, so PMI in Korea. We are still investigating and conducting searches," said Head of the Intelligence Section of the Bima Kejari, Debi F. Fauzi by telephone from Mataram, Antara, Thursday, February 22. In a search effort, Debi said that his party had included IS in the prosecutor's wanted list (DPO). His party has also asked for the support of the NTB High Prosecutor's Fugitive Arrest Team (Tabur) and the Attorney General's Office to support the efforts of the Bima Kejari in arresting IS detected in Korea. "The person concerned has been on the DPO since October 2023 after three summons properly, but has never been present," he said. In this case, the Attorney General's Office of Bima named two suspects. Apart from IS, there is another suspect with the initials AR who is currently undergoing trial at the Corruption Court at the Mataram District Court. At the trial on Wednesday (21/2), the public prosecutor demanded that the panel of judges impose a sentence of 5.5 years in prison and a fine of Rp. 200 million, subsidiary to 6 months in prison to AR. In addition to the main sentence, the prosecutor asked the panel of judges to charge the defendant to pay compensation for state financial losses worth Rp499 million, subsidiary 2 years and 9 months in prison. The prosecutor filed such a lawsuit by submitting a number of considerations, one of which was that the defendant was revealed to have served a criminal sentence. The prosecutor also stated that the defendant's actions as an employee of PD BPR NTB Sape Branch in the position of customer deposit recipients have been proven to have embezzled customer deposits, both in the form of savings, deposits, and credit. From the facts of the trial, the prosecutor also stated that the defendant had admitted to embezzling customer funds with IS who acted as staff for disbursement of funds and credit at PD BPR NTB Sape Branch. The defendant and IS carried out this mode by taking customer deposits without recording in the bookkeeping document.

To cover this mode, the defendant and IS submitted a proof of original deposit from PD BPR NTB to customers. The actions revealed in the facts of this trial took place from 2014 to 2017.
