The Karawang District Attorney's Office, West Java, has detained the former Acting Director of Operations of PT Micro Financial Institutions (LKM) on suspicion of corruption which resulted in state losses of around Rp232 million.

"YS as the Acting Director of Operations of PT LKM from 2015 to 2022 was detained, for allegedly embezzling the central giro funds of PT LKM for the period January 1, 2020 to May 31, 2022," said the Head of the Karawang Kejari, Syaifullah, as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, August 1.

In accordance with the results of the examination by the Karawang Kejari investigators and based on the evidence obtained, YS is strongly suspected of being involved in corruption crimes within PT LKM.

On this matter, the Prosecutor's Office named YS as a suspect and immediately handled it. YS's actions, he said, had resulted in state losses of around Rp. 232 million.

As for the modus operandi carried out by the suspect, it was by falsifying a bank statement which seemed to be the same balance as the LKM bookkeeping mutation.

YS is suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 18, Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 or Article 8 in conjunction with Article 18 of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption as amended or added by Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 20 of 2001.

PT LKM Karawang is a company of the Regional Owned Enterprise, which was formed as a continuation of the Regional Company for Credit, Karawang District.

Shareholders of PT LKM Karawang are the West Java Provincial Government at 38.57 percent and the Regional Government of Karawang Regency at 61.43 percent.
