The evidence in question includes witness statements, expert statements and letters as well as evidence of clues.

Head of the Legal Information Section (Kasi Penkum) of the Bali High Prosecutor's Office, Putu Agus Eka Sabana Putra, said that INGA was named a suspect through his role at that time as chairman of the 2018-2020 new student admissions committee.

"The role and position as chairman of the committee from 2018 to 2020," said Agus, Monday, March 13, 2023, according to VOI.

So far, there has been no confirmation from the Udayana Rectorate regarding the determination of Nyoman Gede Antara as a suspect.

According to Agus, the determination of the suspect against Nyoman Gde Antara was based on the results of the investigation by the Special Crime Investigators of the Bali Attorney General's Office since October 24, 2024.

He said that the number one person at Udayana University, Bali was suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1), Article 3, Article 12 letter e in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001 jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.

Based on the available evidence, investigators concluded that INGA was involved in the criminal act of corruption in SPI funds for new students of the Independent Line Selection of Udayana University for the Academic Year 2018 to 2022.

Agus said that the corruption case of SPI funds that dragged the Chancellor of Udayana University cost the state up to Rp443.9 billion.

The details are state financial losses of Rp105.39 billion and 3.9 billion and the state economy of Rp334.57 billion.

The amount of state losses amounting to Rp443.9 billion was the result of an audit from an auditor during the investigation.

With the appointment of the Chancellor of Udayana University as a suspect, the total number of suspects in the SPI fund corruption case is four people.

Previously, the Bali Attorney General's Office had already named three officials at Unud with the initials IKB, IMY and NPS as corruption suspects. They are suspected of being involved in misuse of funds to donate to the development of new students' institutions (SPI) for self-selection at Unud.

Although the Chancellor of Udayana Prof. Dr. I Nyoman Gde Antara has been named a corruption suspect, the Bali Attorney General's Office has yet to detain him. The reason is, investigators will still examine the suspects.

"About being detained, just look at the progress later," said Agus.

I Nyoman Gde Antara denied that the institution development fund (SPI) flowed to accounts belonging to three Unud rectorate staff whose status is now a suspect at the Bali High Prosecutor's Office.

"Actually, SPI is made according to regulations, the second is that the system does not determine graduation and the most important thing is that nothing flows to our parties or staff. We are sure that none of our staff. It all flows into the state treasury," he said, quoted from ANTARA, Tuesday, March 14, 2023.

He said the levy of institutional development donations within Udayana University had been carried out in accordance with existing legal procedures so that there was no reason for him to avoid being summoned by investigators.

Antara stated that he would still respect the ongoing legal process, even though he is now a suspect in a case of alleged corruption in funds for the development of a selection institution for accepting new students on an independent path.

"In principle, we Udayana University respect the legal process and the investigator's authority. I study my status first," he said.
