The High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) has detained a suspect ANS in the alleged hoarding of 1.2 tons of subsidized commercial fuel (BBM) in Sabu Raijua Regency, after NTT Police investigators transferred files and suspects to the NTT Prosecutor's Office.

The judge said this was related to the delegation of suspects and evidence in the case of hoarding subsidized commercial fuel in Sabu Raijua Regency.

"The prosecutor has detained the suspect for 20 days while waiting for the trial. The public prosecutor is still preparing all case files to be transferred to the court so that the case can be tried immediately," said Abdul Hakim.
