Subang Police Investigators delegated the handling of a suspected corruption case involving an official of PT BPR Subang (Perseroda) Binong Branch to the local District Attorney.

The investigation team of the Subang Police Corruption Unit, Iptu Asep Suhendar, in Subang, West Java, Wednesday, stated that the delegation of cases with the suspect with the initials YIA was carried out after the examination file on the case was complete.

The handling of the corruption case is the result of the development of a similar case that was previously handled by the Subang Police with the suspect with the initials RJ and R.

RJ is a former credit collector of PT BPR Subang Binong Branch and R is the coordinator of the credit applicant. Meanwhile, the suspect with the initials YIA (45) is the Head of Credit for PT BPR Subang.

PT BPR Subang is a regional company owned by the Subang Regency Government, West Java which is engaged in banking and is in the midst of rural communities in the Subang area.

The police from the Subang Police Corruption Unit, on Wednesday, transferred the handling of the case to the Subang District Attorney's Office along with the suspect and evidence. The case relates to consumptive credit certification in 2017.

In April 2017 PT BPR Subang Binong Branch issued funds for 18 consumptive loans (certification) with a total of Rp1,754,000,000.

However, in the process, credit applicants did not submit directly to the BPR Binong Branch, but were submitted through a cooperative owned by R.

Furthermore, around August 2017, it was known that there were no installments that were included in the guaranteed account, so a special examination was carried out by Indonesian banking statistics (SPI), and it was found that the guaranteed account was not the account of the recipient of the certification fund.

The certified educators who are guaranteed are fake. So suspect R made a duplication or engineered credit guarantee in the form of educator certificates, undergraduate diplomas, IV certificates and engineered Bank Jabar (BJB) savings accounts as if there were certification fund financial transactions.

Based on the report on the results of the West Java Provincial Representative BPKP audit, in that case there was a state financial loss of Rp. 1.5 billion.

For his actions, the suspect is threatened with Article 2 paragraph 1 in conjunction with Article 18 paragraph 1 letter B and/or Article 3 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption which has been amended by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001 for amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 paragraph 1 to 1 and or Article 56 of the Criminal Code with a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a maximum fine of IDR 1 billion.
