BANGKA - The District Attorney (Kejari) of Central Bangka Regency has detained three BRI Bank debtors on suspicion of committing a criminal act of corruption.

Head of the Special Crimes Section of the Central Bangka Kejari, Oslan Pardede, explained that the three debtors detained were Iskandar, Sumin and Zaini.

"The three suspects are debtors of Bank BRI, Depati Amir's Sub-Branch Office, whose cases occurred from 2017 to 2019," he said in a press release Monday, September 25, which was confiscated by Antara.

He explained that the three suspects were suspected of having committed irregularities in providing working capital credit based on the working capital credit agreement (KM) Number 27 dated 24 November 2017.

"It is suspected that the three perpetrators provided credit facilities to customers whose values were not in accordance with the collateral (the guarantee value was lower than the value of the credit disbursed)," he said.

For this practice, said Pardede, there was a state loss with an estimated IDR 200 million to IDR 500 million.

"The state's losses on the alleged practice of corruption vary, ranging from Rp. 200 million to Rp. 500 million," he said.

He explained that the three suspects were suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the eradication of corruption.

"The three suspects were detained for fear of escaping, damaging or eliminating evidence and or repeating the same crime," he said.

He said the three of them were prisoners of prosecutors who were entrusted to the Central Bangka Police State Detention Center.

"The three of them were detained for 20 counts from September 20, 2023 to October 9, 2023," he said.
