Police Are Still Completing The File For Misappropriation Of Rp1.4 Billion Grant Funds For The All-Indonesian Volleyball Association In West Papua

The West Papua Police's Criminal Investigation Directorate has received a case file refund to be completed or P19 against a suspect in the alleged corruption of the West Papua Volleyball Association (PBVSI) grant grant with the initials MRFT.

"According to the instructions of the West Papua High Prosecutor's Office, there are still several files that investigators still have to complete," said Head of Public Relations of the West Papua Police, Police Commissioner Ongky Isgunawan in Manokwari, Wednesday, June 26, as reported by Antara.

He said the MRFT, which at that time served as Chairman of PBVSI West Papua, was suspected of misusing grant funds disbursed by the local provincial government as much as IDR 1.5 billion in 2020.

The determination of MRFT as a suspect was carried out through a case title process based on a number of evidences, such as the results of an audit of the calculation of state financial losses from the West Papua Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

"According to the results of the BPKP audit, it was found that there was a state loss of more than Rp. 1.4 billion," said Ongky.

According to him, efforts to eradicate corruption that occurred in West Papua and Southwest Papua, require commitment, cooperation, and support from all related elements so that it can be carried out optimally.

The police are not only focused on implementing the maximum legal force for the suspects, but rather efforts to save state financial losses to be returned to the state treasury are a priority.

"This is in line with the commitment of the West Papua Police Chief Inspector General Pol Johnny Eddizon Isir," he said.
