Lampung Prosecutor's Office Raises Investigation Status Of Alleged Corruption Cases Of BUMN Bank

Lampung High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) investigators raised the status of handling corruption cases in the implementation of the Kupedes people's business credit (KUR) and ultra micro loans at a state-owned bank in Lampung.

Assistant for Special Crimes (Aspidsus) of the Lampung Prosecutor's Office, Hutamrin said, the increase in the status of investigations was based on the investigation warrant of the Head of the Lampung High Prosecutor's Office Number: Print-04/L.8/Fd/07/2023 dated July 7, 2023.

Hutamrin explained that this alleged corruption case began in early 2022 by a mantri at the BUMN Bank.

The fictitious credit mode carried out by the mantri, he continued, included using payment money for seven customers, and using loans to 15 customers, and using 28 customer identities as if there was a KUR application.

"So all the requirements for the KUR application submitted by a mantri to the bank are fictitious application documents," he said in Bandarlampung, Thursday, July 20, which was confiscated by Antara.

In this case, he said, his party had examined 45 witnesses.

Hutamrin said the state losses due to the KUR Kupedes case and the BUMN bank ultra micro credit were estimated at Rp2,022,151,656.
