Previously reported, the KPK detained former Sestama Basarnas who is also the Head of the PDIP Disaster Management Agency (Baguna) Max Rudand Boseke for the first 20 days on Tuesday, June 25. He was caught in a corruption case in the procurement of trucks at the National SAR Agency (Basarnas).

"As of June 25, 2024, to July 14, 2024. The detention was carried out at the KPK branch detention center," said Asep Guntur Rahayu, Director of KPK's Investigation at a press conference at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

The detention was also carried out on two other suspects. They are Anjar Sulistiyono who is a Commitment Making Officer (PPK) who is also the Head of Sub-Directorate for Prosecution and Briefing of the Directorate of Facilities and Infrastructure of Basarnas and William Sidarta who is the Director of CV Delima Mandiri.

In this case, the three of them allegedly cost the state up to Rp20.4 billion. Max is said to have received Rp2.5 billion which was then used for his personal interests to buy ornamental fish.
