Based on the results of the examination of witnesses and evidence, the suspect is strongly suspected of committing an unlawful act and cannot be held accountable for the financial management of ADD/DD 2020-202. So that special criminal investigators from the local prosecutor's office carry out detention for the next 20 days.

The suspect was charged with Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.

"Initially, the government's internal supervisory apparatus (Apip) in this case the inspectorate conducted an audit and provided an opportunity for the person concerned to return his finances, but in the return effort there was no good faith (from the suspect) and then the collection was transferred to the prosecutor's office," said Ginanjar.

After the prosecutor's investigators conducted an investigation, the suspect was also still given the opportunity to return it, and until the investigation stage the village head also did not have good faith, so the prosecutor was forced to determine Munakip as a suspect and be detained.

"When we escalated it to the investigation, we were also given the opportunity, but there was still no good intention so we immediately detained the suspect," said Ginanjar.
