The suspect with the initials EK who was caught in a corruption case in the management of government capital investment funds to the Regional Public Company (Perusda) of West Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, with a loss of Rp. 2.1 billion, stated that he was ready to dismantle the flow of funds to a number of regional officials. This was conveyed by the suspect EK through his attorney Lalu Anton Hariawan. Then Anton even claimed to have evidence of the flow of funds in the form of bank transfer documents from his client. "Yes, so our client has provided all proof of transfer related to the flow of funds from the business capital management at Perusda West Sumbawa," Anton said in Mataram, quoted from Antara, Monday, August 28. Regarding the status of EK who was absent during the investigation by the West Sumbawa Kejari investigators, Anton said there were reasons for urgency so that his client could not fulfill the summons. "Why not attend? Because our client and his family have received threats from this case. So, not being present not because they fled, but because they intended to protect themselves and their families," he said. By having proof of bank transfer documents from EK, Anton assessed that his client had an important role in the case. "So, I will present all the evidence that I hold in court later," he said. The legal process is currently underway at the West Sumbawa Kejari. Anton admitted that investigators had sent a second summons to EK. As a form of showing a cooperative attitude in this case, Anton said that his client would attend to fulfill the summons, but in different places. "For security, our clients are willing to fulfill the summons for examination, but at the NTB Prosecutor's Office," said Anton. The first summons for EK as a suspect, had already taken place when investigators detained another suspect, namely the Director of Perusda West Sumbawa with the initials SA on Monday (14/8) night. The second summons was sent with an agenda today at the West Sumbawa Kejari Office. Suspect EK in this case is the director of a private company that acts as a partner of Perusda West Sumbawa. One of the pieces of evidence that stated EK and SA as suspects was related to the discovery of indications of unlawful acts and the emergence of a potential state loss of Rp. 2.1 billion in the management of government capital investment funds for the period 2016 to 2021 with a total of Rp. 7.2 billion. With the construction of these findings, investigators named both of them as suspects in the alleged management of capital participation that was not in accordance with the provisions of the cooperation agreement. The capital is given first to the PAM company. Meanwhile, the cooperation agreement was made long ago from the date the capital was given. In addition to the alleged error, it is strongly suspected that the PAM company did not carry out its obligations according to the cooperation agreement. By finding indications of such a violation of the law, investigators apply the allegations of Article 2 paragraph (1) and/or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code jo. Article 64 of the Criminal Code. The determination of the suspect is that the prosecutor's investigator has detained SA by entrusting the person concerned at the West Sumbawa Police Detention Center.
