NTT - Investigators of the Corruption Crime of the High Prosecutor's Office of East Nusa Tenggara Province searched the Kupang Regency DPRD Secretariat Office.

The search was related to the alleged corruption case in the transfer of land and building assets from the former Regional Government Radio Office (RPD) of Kupang Regency in 2009.

"Today a team of investigators from the NTT High Prosecutor's Office conducted a search at the Kupang Regency DPRD Secretariat Office to look for evidence related to the corruption case of transferring assets to the Kupang Regency Government," said Head of the Legal Information and Public Relations Section of the NTT High Prosecutor's Office, Abdul Hakim when contacted in Kupang, Between, Friday, November 5th.

He said the legal process for the alleged corruption case of the transfer of land and building assets belonging to the Kupang Regency Government was already at the investigation stage.

He said the case of the transfer of government assets occurred in 2009 after the approval of the Kupang Regency DPRD.

"Investigators of the NTT High Prosecutor's Office need a number of pieces of evidence related to the approval of the Kupang Regency DPRD for the process of transferring government assets," said Abdul Hakim.

"Many investigators will be summoned for questioning, including members of the Kupang Regency DPRD, because the transfer of government assets was carried out after the approval of the local DPRD," said Abdul Hakim.

Abdul Hakim admitted that he did not know what documents the investigators had bagged from the results of the search, because the search process at the Kupang Regency DPRD Building in Oelemasi, the capital of Kupang Regency, about 38 km east of Kupang City, was still ongoing.
