NTB - Mataram District Attorney (Kejari) in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) is hunting for Ida Ayu Wayan Kartika, a convict in a corruption case of people's business credit funds (KUR), a state-owned bank in the Kebon Roek area. Ida Ayu has been on the wanted list (DPO).

"We are still looking for the person concerned and monitoring," said Head of the Mataram Kejari Intelligence Section Harun Al Rasyid in Mataram, NTB, Wednesday, March 19, as reported by Antara.

The convict of corruption in KUR funds has the status of a DPO based on the results of the in absentia trial which took place at the Corruption Court at the Mataram District Court.

In the verdict, the judge sentenced Ida Ayu Wayan Kartika, who collected customers who received KUR funds in 2020 2021, with a sentence of 8 years and 6 months in prison and a fine of Rp. 300 million, subsidiary to 4 months.

The judge also charged the convict with paying compensation for state financial losses worth Rp. 2.1 billion, a subsidiary of 4 years and 6 months in prison.

For the prosecutor's efforts to recover state financial losses imposed on Ida Ayu, Harun said that his party had traced the defendant's valuable assets.

"We have carried out asset tracing, we will first see what the results are, because he has a lot of debt," said Harun.

During the asset search, the prosecutor's office examined a number of parties, including Ida Ayu's husband, a member of the National Police who served at the NTB Regional Police.

"We have checked everything. Her husband has been examined, has been questioned," he said.

In this corruption case, not only the name Ida Ayu appeared. There are also former banking heads of the Kebon Roek sub-branch office, Samudya Aria Kusuma, and former banking mantri of the Kebon Roek sub-branch office, Sahabudin.

The two people have been sentenced to 4 years in prison each and a fine of IDR 300 million, a subsidiary of 4 months.

In his decision, the judge also charged Samudya Aria Kusuma to pay compensation for state losses of Rp. 86 million, while Sahabudin amounted to Rp. 35 million.

However, both of them were recorded to have returned the state losses so that the judge stated that the money that had been returned could be calculated as replacement money.

In the verdict, the three were declared proven guilty of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code jo. Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.

Ida Ayu in this case collected the names of 112 customers. From the facts of the trial, it was revealed that there were names of recipients who did not have a business and were fictitious.

Even so, the banking sector still disburses KUR funds. However, the funds were not used by the recipients, but were enjoyed by Ida Ayu, who is now the prosecutor's DPO status.
