NTB - The former treasurer of the Sabhara Directorate of the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Regional Police with the initials IMS is suspected of being involved in a fictitious credit corruption case at the NTB Regional People's Credit Bank (BPR) Batukliang Branch, Central Lombok Regency.

Head of the Special Crimes Section of the Central Lombok District Attorney (Kajari) Bratha Hary Putra said the alleged involvement of IMS in this fictitious credit case was revealed based on the results of an investigation that had identified two suspects from the BPR Batukliang Branch.

"So the application (credit) was misused by three people, but what we have determined are two people from BPR, for the main one, IMS, that hasn't been done," said Bratha by telephone, Wednesday, August 3.

He also ensured that investigators had not determined the status of IMS, but were still witnesses for the reason that they had never fulfilled the summons of the prosecutor's investigators.

"We have not been able to determine, because he was never present at the investigation. But lastly we found out that he served at the Bima Police," he said, according to Antara.

The case involving IMS went to the prosecutor's desk starting from the finding of bad credit from the BPR.

Bratha explained, IMS applied for credit while still serving as Treasurer of the Directorate of Sabhara Polda NTB. IMS filed from 2014 to 2017.

In the submission, IMS on behalf of 193 members of the Directorate of Sabhara Polda NTB. On the basis of the application, the credit application was granted. The total credit funds disbursed were Rp. 2.38 billion. The value of the credit disbursement is now the state's loss figure.

"So the names submitted by IMS were never submitted," he said.

Furthermore, Bratha said that the Central Lombok Kejari had carried out the transfer of files to the court for two suspects from BPR Batukliang Branch, Central Lombok Regency, with the initials AF and HJ.

"Today we delegate it to the court, possibly next week it will be tried," he explained.

The two suspects, namely AF, who acts as the Head of the Marketing Section as well as the Credit Committee at the Regional Company BPR NTB Batukliang Branch, Central Lombok Regency, 2014-2017 period.

Then HJ, Account Officer of Regional Company BPR NTB Batukliang Branch, Central Lombok Regency, from 2013 to 2017.

Regarding the transfer of files to the Mataram Corruption District Court, HJ's legal adviser, Suhartono, is concerned about the public prosecutor's efforts to prove at trial in recovering state losses amounting to Rp. 2.38 billion.

"In this case, who will be charged with compensating the state for losses. Because our own client, HJ, does not enjoy it, the recipient of the credit, IMS, has never been examined in the investigation process," he said.
