SEMARANG - The Central Java Representative Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) revealed that state financial losses due to the burglary of a local government-owned bank in Semarang City reached Rp7.7 billion.

"The total state loss reached Rp7.7 billion, which is state money issued without proper procedures," said BPKP auditor Representative of Central Java Sukarno when questioned as an expert in a trial at the Semarang Corruption Court, reported by ANTARA, Monday, May 13.

The amount of state losses from each mode carried out by the defendant Anggoro Bagus Pamuji, namely through irregularities in credit repayments amounting to Rp3.8 billion, irregularities in insurance claims amounting to Rp773 million, and fictitious credit disbursement of Rp3 billion.

Sukarno said the defendant's crime could be carried out because one process in disbursing the loan was carried out by all the defendants.

Experts also found the flow of funds from the calculation of state losses transferred to the defendant's personal account.

Meanwhile, Chief Judge Gatot Sarwadi said the public prosecutor would not present former Semarang District Court treasurer Neni Apriastuti in proving this case.

According to him, the public prosecutor has made two appropriate calls to the person concerned. The summons was sent to Neni's house in Semarang City and Purwokerto, but his whereabouts are unknown.

"The summons is final. In addition, Neni is also not registered as a witness in the case file," he said.

The Semarang Corruption Court tried the Head of the Marketing Unit of a government bank in Semarang City, Anggoro Bagus Pamuji, for corruption that cost the state up to IDR 7.7 billion.

The mode used by the defendant in the crime was by embezzling loan insurance claims and disbursing credit from debtors who had died in the period 2019-2021.
