The NTB Prosecutor's Office Has Sanctioned The Temporary Dismissal Of Prosecutors For Car Embezzlement
The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) has imposed a temporary dismissal of a prosecutor's employee with the initials BW in a case of alleged fraud and embezzlement of cars in Mataram City.
"Against the person concerned, a temporary suspension will be carried out considering the case is currently underway at the Mataram Police," said Assistant Supervisory (Aswas) of the NTB Attorney General's Office Wahyu Triantono at a press conference in Mataram, Tuesday, June 4, which was confiscated by Antara.
Regarding this case, he emphasized that his party had followed up by clarifying BW before finally receiving a report to the Mataram Police.
"Due to this case, we have also forwarded the information to the Attorney General's Office," he said.
He said that in the BW case there was nothing related to the role of the prosecutor's office, but that the criminal act was part of BW's personal interests.
"Indeed, he (BW) wore the prosecutor's official clothes when he met the victim, so that made the victim believe in him. However, we need to emphasize that there is no relationship with the prosecutor, but that (criminal act) is for BW's personal interests," he said.
As a form of the prosecutor's commitment to law enforcement, he explained, the NTB Prosecutor's Office will follow up on this BW case to the disciplinary law. However, this step still has to wait for legal certainty from the court.
"What is clear is that I continue to exercise my authority as an assistant supervisor to carry out internal examinations. Then later we will impose sanctions on those concerned according to the prosecutor's regulations," he said.
The Mataram Police arrested BW and his colleague with the initials Y based on reports from residents from Sekarbela on suspicion of fraud and embezzlement of four-wheeled vehicles.
Both have now been named suspects and detained at the Mataram Police Rutan for alleged criminal violations of Article 372 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 378 of the Criminal Code.
