SEMARANG - Two lecturers from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) of Walisongo State Islamic University (UIN) Semarang, Central Java, were tried on suspicion of accepting bribes in the selection of village officials in Gajah Subdistrict, Demak Regency, amounting to Rp. 830 million.

Public Prosecutor Sri Heryono in a trial at the Semarang Corruption Court said that the two defendants were Amin Farih who was the Deputy Dean of FISIP UIN Semarang and Adib who served as Chair of the Political Science Study Program FISIP UIN Semarang.

The prosecutor, as quoted from Antara, explained that the corruption that took place in 2021 began when FISIP UIN Semarang cooperated in implementing the selection of village officials in Gajah Subdistrict, Demak Regency.

In the composition of the selection committee, the defendant Amin Farih served as a director, while Adib served as chairman of the selection committee for the village apparatus candidate examination.

In the implementation of the selection, the Head of Cangkring Village, Imam Jaswadi, who is also a defendant in the case on behalf of himself as a representative of village heads throughout the Demak Regency, met the defendants Amin Farih and Adib to ask for a grid of exam questions in the selection.

Imam Jaswadi and Saroni, former Deputy Kapolsek Karanganyar, Demak Regency, who had been transferred to the Banjarnegara Police gave money to Amin and Adib as much as Rp. 830 million in two stages to provide answers to the exam questions in the selection of village officials.

This amount of money came from giving away 16 candidates for village officials in 8 villages in Gajah Subdistrict, Demak Regency, who would later get leaked answers to the exam questions.

"The first handover of Rp720 million from the defendant Imam Jaswadi was made at the defendant Adib's house," he said in a trial chaired by Chief Judge Arkanu, Tuesday, August 23.

Meanwhile, the remaining Rp110 million was handed over during a meeting at the Kampung Laut Restaurant in Semarang.

Of that amount of money, said the prosecutor, as much as Rp. 300 million of which was handed over to witness Tholkathul Khoir to be reported to the Dean of FISIP UIN Semarang Misbah Zulfa Elisabeth.

The crime of bribery was revealed after the suspicion of UIN Chancellor Imam Taufik during an inspection during the village head candidate selection exam in December 2021.

The Chancellor was suspicious of a number of participants who were able to complete the exam in a short time and score above 90 points.

From the results of the coordination, continued the prosecutor, the rector stated that the implementation of the selection test for the Gajah Subdistrict village apparatus was illegal or legally flawed.

Against the prosecutor's indictment, the four defendants stated that they would not provide answers and asked for the trial to be continued with witness examination.
