BENGKULU - Bengkulu City Police (Polresta) said the corruption case of the School Operational Assistance (BOS) fund allegedly carried out by two perpetrators was used for online gambling.

The 2020-2021 BOS fund corruption case carried out by IM, the former principal of the school and YN treasurer of SMPN 17 Bengkuludi City was used to buy assets in the form of cars which were then sold again for online gambling capital.

"Meanwhile, we have managed to explore the suspect using BOS Funds for his own personal interests," said Head of Subunit Tipikor Polresta Ipda Hendra Syahputra as reported by ANTARA, Friday, September 13.

Based on the results of an audit from the Bengkulu City Inspectorate, the state losses incurred by the actions of the two suspects amounted to Rp1.2 billion.

"For the total state loss of Rp. 1.2 billion and some of it has been returned, approximately Rp. 130 million and the two suspects are applied to Article 2 and Article 3 Junto 55 of the Anti-Corruption Law," he said.

Previously, explained Hendra, IM and YN were named suspects in the case of corruption in BOS funds at SMPN 17 Bengkulu City with the mode used by both of them, namely making a fictitious letter of responsibility (SPJ).

"For this temporary mode, it is to make changes or accountability letters (SPJ)," he said.
