4 Suspects Allegedly Corruption Of West Java Fictitious MSME Funds Detained By The KPK

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has detained four suspects in the alleged corruption in the distribution of funds by the MSME Revised Fund Management Agency (LPDB) 2012-2013 in West Java (Jabar).

"For the needs and smooth running of the investigation process, the investigative team detained the suspects for the next 20 days," said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron to reporters, Thursday, September 15.

The four suspects detained by the KPK are the former Director of LPDB-KUMKM Kemas Danial; Chairman of the Supervision of the Cooperatives of Street Vendors Panca Bhakti West Java Dodi Kurniadi; Secretary II of the Cooperatives of Street Vendors for Streets, Panca Bhakti, West Java, Deden Wahyudi; and Director of PT Pancamulti Niagapratama (PN) Stevanus Kusnadi.

Ghufron said the four were being held in three different detention houses. The kemas is being held at the KPK Detention Center at the Red and White Building, Dodi and Deden are being held at the KPK Detention Center at the Lot C1 Building, Stevanus is being held at the KPK Detention Center at Pomdam Jaya Guntur.

The alleged corruption occurred in 2012. At that time, Stevanus met Kemas who served as Director of LPDB-KUMKM offering the construction of the East Bandung Plaza Mall which was never completed.

"The SK offer is intended, among other things, so that KD can help and facilitate the provision of funds from the revolving fund management agency, micro, small and medium enterprises (LPDB-KUMKM)," he said.

Furthermore, Kemas approved and recommended Stevanus to meet the Head of the Center for Cooperatives for Street Vendors Panca Bhakti West Java (West Java Cooperative) to condition the provision of funds.

Next, Andra, who has been directed by Kemas, applied for a loan of Rp90 billion to LPDB which was used to purchase a 6,000-meter BTP Mall stall to be distributed by 1,000 MSME actors.

However, the data for MSME actors turns out to be less than 1,000. "And it is suspected that it is fictitious but still forced so that and the scroll can be immediately disbursed through the opening of a bank account coordinated by DW," he said.

Dalam proses berjalan, Kemas membuat surat perjanjian dengan Kopanti Jabar. Perjanjian dibuat tanpa mengikuti analisasi bisnis dan manajemen risiko.

Kopanti Jabar was recorded to have disbursed a revolving fund loan of IDR 116.8 in 506 assisted MSME actors in the period 2012 to 2013. The money is actually targeted to be returned by the inmates for eight years.

However, the money that was supposed to be used for the West Java Kopanti was instead given to Stevanus for a total of IDR 98.7 billion. The money was handed over by transferring it to Stevanus' company account.

Stevanus' refund process is also jammed. He was recorded as only paying Rp3.3 billion of the total money he had received.

"And it was categorized as a traffic jam so that KD (Kemas) issued a policy to change the return period to 15 years," said Ghufron.

The KPK suspects that Kemas received Rp13.8 billion in cash and a fried chicken kiosk at BTP Mall from Stevanus. Meanwhile, Deden and Dodi are believed to have been given a house and a car from Kopanti Jabar because of collusion.

For their actions, the suspects are suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption Jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
