The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) has named two Indonesian Sharia Bank (BSI) officials as suspects in the alleged corruption case in the distribution of people's business loans (KUR) in 2021-2022.
Assistant for Special Crimes (Aspidsus) of the NTB Prosecutor's Office, Elly Rahmawati, revealed that two state-owned bank officials who were suspects in the alleged corruption case had the initials SE and WKI.
"So, in this investigation process, we have named two suspects with the initials SE and WKI. They act as the main officials in the two branches," said Elly as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, May 28.
The Prosecutor's Office, continued Elly, named the two suspects in different investigation files.
"So, from the two investigations we carried out, the role of SE was the main official in one branch, and this WKI was from another branch. They are suspected of abusing their authority in the distribution of KUR funds," he said.
Although he was reluctant to convey in full the two branches of BSI's work that were included in the prosecutor's investigation, Elly ensured that the alleged corruption was related to the distribution of KUR funds to farmer groups that produce porang and cattle in the NTB area.
"Anyway, there are irregularities, some are fictitious, some are not, they are related (KUR funds) to cows and porang," he said.
In determining this suspect, investigators have found indications of unlawful acts and potential state financial losses.
"For distribution in Mataram, there was a loss of Rp. 8.3 billion. The other branch, an indication of a loss of Rp. 13 billion. Just to be sure, wait for the results of the BPKP," he said.
The Prosecutor's Office is currently building coordination regarding efforts to complete evidence of auditing state financial losses with the NTB Representative Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).
"Because the articles that we suspect against the two suspects are related to articles 2 and 3 of the corruption law, so we must fulfill the elements of state financial losses by coordinating and intensively providing data to BPKP auditors," he said.
"It is possible that in the development there are other suspects," said Elly.
