CIANJUR - The District Attorney's Office (Kejari) of Cianjur, West Java, revealed a case of alleged corruption involving two employees of Bank BRI Cianjur, AP and AAR and a ZN credit broker, causing state losses of IDR 3.1 billion.

The head of the Cianjur Kejari, Kamin, said that the disclosure of the alleged corruption case began with bad credit with fantastic amounts that occurred at the bank office of the Warungkondang and Sukanagara sub-districts.

"The total bad credit in the two BRI bank units is Rp. 3.1 billion, with details in Warungkondang District of Rp. 1,437,373,701 and in Sukanagara District of Rp. 1,670,820,623," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, July 18.

The two perpetrators involved ZN (fictitious credit brokers) who acted as people who received credit documents from customers or borrowed customers' names to get credit facilities, aka mask credit.

The suspect AP has carried out the action for two years from 2020 to 2022, while AAR and ZN have carried out the same action at the Sukanagara Unit Office, so they asked for witness statements of around 60 people who became customers.

"The mask credit action has been carried out by the gang from 2022 to 2024 and based on the Investigation Order Number: Print-1650 / M.2.27 / Fd.2 / 06 / 2024 dated June 7, 2024, the Cianjur Kejari examined 60 witnesses," he said.

To fulfill the evidence, he said, his party had confiscated a number of documents and detained the three suspects since Thursday (18/7) to facilitate the investigation and prosecution process and not to lose evidence.

The suspect in carrying out his actions because of the demands to meet the ceiling and customer targets so that the suspect gets an incentive from the bank of around Rp. 20 million, but the credit money for customers who have disbursed is only conveyed a few percent while the rest is used for personal use.

"When the customer gets a loan of Rp. 10 million, only Rp. 500 thousand is handed over, while the highest credit is submitted up to Rp. 100 million and the money is used for the benefit of the suspect," he said.
