JEMBER - The suspect in the village fund corruption case in Pocangan Village, Jember Regency, East Java returned state financial losses worth IDR 186 million to investigators at the Jember District Attorney's Office.

"The wife of the village fund corruption suspect is the one who's making efforts to recover the state's financial losses. The return was made by the suspect BR's wife," said Head of the Jember District Attorney's Office (Kejari) Special Crimes, Isa Ulinnuha in a written statement reported by ANTARA, Monday, February 27.

The Jember Prosecutor's Office detained the Head of Pocangan Village with the initials SM (48) and an ASN at the Bina Marga Public Works Service with the initials BR (57) in connection with allegations of corruption in village funds in Pocangan Village, Sukowono District.

The two suspects are suspected of committing acts of corruption in a number of physical works in 2020 and 2021 using the village budget.

"In 2020 there will be two physical works, namely the construction of a madrasa building and the construction of a clean water tower in Krajan Hamlet," he said.

Whereas in 2021 there will be four physical works, namely one asphalt road construction and three paving road constructions.

According to him, the money returned by the suspect's wife amounted to more than IDR 186 million and the money was deposited in the prosecutor's account to serve as evidence at the trial later.

"The suspect has returned a number of state financial losses incurred as a result of the criminal act of corruption in village funds," he said.

He hopes that the panel of judges at the corruption court (tipikor) agree with the prosecutor's demands, so that the refund money can be deposited into the state treasury.

"The amount of state financial losses arise from six physical projects in 2020 and 2021 which use the village fund budget in Pocangan Village, Sukowono District," he said.
