MUKOMUKO - The Mukomuko District Attorney, Bengkulu Province said that state losses caused by the alleged corruption case of the Pasar Ipuh Village Fund in 2021 reached more than Rp. 327 million.

"From the results of the audit, the state loss in the alleged corruption case of village funds reached more than Rp. 327 million," said Head of the Mukomuko District Attorney's Office, Rudi Iskandar, represented by the Head of Intelligence Radiman, in his statement at Mukomuko, Antara, Tuesday, July 19.

The Mukomuko Kejari previously named two suspects in the alleged corruption case of the Pasar Ipuh Village Fund in 2021, namely ED, former Head of Pasar Ipuh Village, and Y, Head of Finance of Pasar Ipuh Village, Ipuh District.

He explained that these two people were named suspects because they were responsible for the alleged misappropriation of village funds and the allocation of village funds in 2021 with a budget of Rp. 1.1 billion.

He said, based on witness statements, in 2020, ED, who is still the village head, borrowed village funds from a number of parties with the excuse of financing village development, but until 2020 the loan money was not returned.

Then, in 2021 ED returned village funds that were lent to a number of these parties. The actions of the former village head in addition to misappropriating village funds and village fund allocations, included doing fictitious work, and not paying the salaries of the apparatus.

The Attorney General's Office of Mukomuko has handed over files for handling the case of alleged corruption in the 2021 Pasar Ipuh Village Fund which ensnared these two village officials.

He said that apart from handing over the files for the two suspects in the Pasar Ipuh Village Fund corruption, they also submitted a number of evidences related to this corruption case.

The evidence includes several receipts worth Rp. 229.4 million related to all transactions using the Pasar Ipuh Village Fund in 2021.

The funds in the receipt amounting to Rp229.4 million, came from debt repayments of Rp28 million from KA, Rp13 million from JA, Rp5 million from FA, Rp33 million from FI.

The two are suspected of being the most responsible for the alleged misuse and misappropriation of the Pasar Ipuh Village APBDes for the 2021 Fiscal Year.
