The Sumbawa District Attorney, West Nusa Tenggara, is investigating allegations of corruption in the management of people's business credit funds (KUR), one of the state-owned conventional banks that has the potential to cause billions of rupiah in state losses. "In handling this case, we have pocketed elements of acts against the law," said Head of the Intelligence Section of the Sumbawa Anak Agung Putu Juliartana by telephone, Antara, Tuesday, July 18. He said that his party handled this case starting with reports from customers who felt a loss with the addition of credit loans (plaphones). Customers found out about this when they wanted to withdraw credit guarantees at the bank. "So, this is the mode of increasing the loan ceiling and it was only revealed when the customer took guarantees," he said. From the results of the temporary search, it was revealed that there were at least 50 customers who were victims of this mode. "This potential arises from customer loans, the value varies from Rp. 10 million. In total, the potential loss is Rp. 2 billion," he said. In handling the case, Agung assured that his party still had to strengthen the evidence by conducting a series of examinations and collecting supporting evidence.

The conventional state-owned bank, which is suspected of having problems managing KUR funds, is located in the Semamung area, Moyohulu District, Sumbawa Regency.
