JAKARTA - A member of the West Nusa Tenggara Police, I Made Sudarmaya, was revealed to be the mastermind behind the fictitious credit corruption case of the Batukliang Rural Bank (BPR), Central Lombok Regency. The state was short of IDR 2.38 billion.

Sudarmaya's role was revealed in the reading of the indictments belonging to the defendants Agus Fanahesa and Johari before the Panel of Judges at the Mataram Corruption District Court, Thursday 11 August.

"The two defendants and I Made Sudarmaya joined together in committing a criminal act of corruption that was detrimental to the state," said Reta Rusyana, representing the public prosecutor (JPU) reading the indictment of Agus Fanahesa and Johari quoted from Antara.

In the trial chaired by I Ketut Somanasa, Sudarmaya's role was revealed when he was still actively serving as an Administrative Officer for Financial Affairs at the Sabhara Directorate of the NTB Police.

In the 2014-2017 period, Sudarmaya applied for credit by using the names of 199 members of the NTB Regional Police. Most of the names came from the Directorate of Sabhara Polda NTB.

The mode of credit application by Sudarmaya was revealed by preparing personally without the permission and knowledge of the names of the members regarding the requirements for completing credit applications, such as copies of ID cards, membership cards, and salary slip statements.

Furthermore, the defendant Johari as the account officer at the BPR Batukliang Branch checked the validation of the credit applicant's data.

In the application, the defendant Johari did not provide the credit loan through an official procedure. Nevertheless, the defendant Agus Fanahesa as head of marketing at BPR Batukliang Branch still approved the application for credit.

"From the verification of the data, it was then approved by the head of the branch named Dewi Komalasari," he said.

After approval, the credit application is disbursed by the BPR. The nominal amount disbursed is at least Rp. 2.38 billion. After the credit was disbursed, the defendant Agus Fanahesa was given a salary of Rp. 100 thousand by Sudarmaya.

In addition, it was also revealed that Agus and Johari received a loan from credit disbursement. Sudarmaya gave Agus Rp. 30 million and Johari Rp. 100 million.

From this series of indictments, the public prosecutor charged both of them with Article 2 paragraph 1 and/or Article 3 Juncto Article 18 paragraph 1 letter b of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 20/2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31/2009 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes Juncto Article 55 paragraph 1 to 1 of the Criminal Code.
