The prosecutor's investigators studied the confiscated documents from the search results of the alleged corruption case of government capital investment funds to the Regional Public Company (Perusda) of West Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, for the management period from 2016 to 2021.

"So, from several documents that we brought from the results of the search, we are now studying. Hopefully there will be new clues again," said Head of the Intelligence Section of the West Sumbawa Kejari, Rasyid Yuliansyah, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, September 18.

The documents that are currently being studied by the investigator, he said, are the result of confiscation from searches at the end of last week in three different locations.

"The three locations where the searches are located are at the Perusda Office, Menala Village, Gapaaving block area in Telaga Bertong, and CV Putra Andalan Marine business premises in Banjar Village," he said.

During the search, investigators also confiscated a computer unit that allegedly contained data on the management of local government capital participation funds for Perusda West Sumbawa.

Rasyid said the progress of the handling of this case was still in the filing. In addition to waiting for the examination of the confiscated documents from the search results, investigators are also waiting for the results of the audit of state losses from the NTB Representative BPKP.

"So, we have not submitted the file stage one (delegation to the research prosecutor) because the audit results of the state losses are still not final," he said.

In addition, his party is also conducting data collection on assets belonging to the two suspects. This data collection is part of the investigators' efforts to save state losses.

In this case, investigators named two suspects, namely the Acting Director (Plt.) of Perusda West Sumbawa with the initials SA and Director of CV Putra Andalan Marine (PAM) who is a partner of the Perusda with the initials EK.

One of the pieces of evidence stating that EK and SA as suspects were related to the discovery of indications of unlawful acts and the emergence of potential state losses of Rp. 2.1 billion in the management of government capital participation funds for the 2016 to 2021 period 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.

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.

In handling this case, the prosecutor's investigator first detained SA by entrusting the person concerned at the West Sumbawa Police Detention Center.

Meanwhile, the detention of suspect EK was reluctant to be conveyed by the prosecutor for reasons of security and safety of the suspect.
