The Corruption Crime of Self Enrichment

The Defendant has unlawfully placed funds in a bank that has not carefully examined the soundness of the banking system to be appointed, in this case, Bank Tripanca Setiadana, a Rural Credit Bank as the Holder of the Regional Clearing Account.

• “The placement of the East Lampung Regional Government funds was transferred from the East Lampung Bank, which according to Government Regulation Number 58 of 2015 should be 17 Regional Treasury Account Holders, is contrary to Law Number 1 of 2004 because Bank Tripanca Setiadana is not a commercial bank but only a Rural Credit Bank.

• “From the Regional Treasury Funds deposited at Bank Tripanca Setiadana, the Defendant has enriched himself by withdrawing the balance of the East Lampung Regency Government savings which is considered personal interest.”

• “Article 17 paragraph (1) of Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 39 of 2007 states that the State General Treasurer in coordination with the Governor of the Central Bank shall determine the criteria and/or requirements for selecting Commercial Banks that can serve revenues and/or expenditures, both for the Central and Regional Government.”
