The Central Java Regional Police's Special Criminal Investigation Directorate has transferred the investigation into the alleged corruption case resulting from problematic loans at Perumda BPR Purworejo, which caused state losses of up to Rp26.4 billion, to the public prosecutor.Acting Director of Special Criminal Investigation of the Central Java Regional Police, AKBP Feria Kurniawan, in Semarang, Tuesday, said that the case files, which had been declared complete, had been handed over to the public prosecutor along with the four suspects and evidence.
The four suspects who have been named in the investigation of this case are the former President Director of BPR Purworejo WAI, the former Director of BPR Purworejo WWA, the former Head of Credit at BPR Purworejo DY, and the Director of PT Kartika Zidan Pratama (KZP), TL.
He explained that the crimes that occurred between 2013 and 2023 used the modus operandi of applying for loans, but without a verification process in accordance with applicable procedures.
According to him, PT KZP is a housing developer that offers loans to customers who wish to apply for home ownership.
"The collateral pledged was apparently unable to cover the value of the loan requested," he said.
Apart from that, he said, there were fictitious credits that used other people's identities, but the money was used by the suspect.
The amount of credit applied for, he said, varies between IDR 150 million and IDR 6.2 billion.
In investigating the case, the police secured around 91 land certificates which were suspected of being used as collateral for the problematic credit.
He explained that the crime, which caused state losses of up to IDR 26.4 billion, began with an OJK audit of the liquidation of the financial institution owned by the Purworejo Regency Government.
For their actions, the four suspects were charged with Law Number 31 of 1999 which was amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.
