Corruption Ajang Lombok Sumbawa Motocross 2023, NTB Prosecutor's Office Throws It At APIP Regarding Investigation

The West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) High Prosecutor's Office (Kajati) stated that the handling of alleged corruption cases that emerged in the implementation of the 2023 Motocross Lombok-Sumbawa has the potential to be completed at the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP) level.

Assistant for Special Crimes at the NTB Prosecutor's Office, Muh. Zulkifli Said explained, APIP, in this case, is the NTB Inspectorate.

"So, we have received a report on the return on the findings of the inspectorate as APIP. If the total return is full, it depends on the Inspectorate (stop the case)," he said in Mataram, Wednesday, which was confiscated by Antara.

On the other hand, if within the time limit according to the rules for recovering losses at the APIP level has not been completed, Aspidsus emphasized that the legal process will continue at the NTB Prosecutor's Office.

"So, the potential solution is at APIP, in this case the inspectorate," he said.

According to reports from the inspection of the inspectorate, the findings of losses from the implementation of the international scale extreme sporting event amounted to Rp2.6 billion.

The Inspectorate found the loss figure from coordination with the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Tourism in the form of a script from the examination (NHP).

The loss of Rp. 2.6 billion emerged from a difference in payments to providers worth Rp. 1.2 billion, a tax deficiency of Rp. 404 million, a difference in payments by the Indonesian Motor Association (IMI) worth Rp. 601 million and a tax shortage of IMI NTB of Rp. 356 million, as well as an excess official travel fee of Rp. 6.2 million.

The NTB Provincial Government through the NTB Tourism Office held this event on the follow-up to the receipt of grants from the Ministry of Tourism worth IDR 24 billion.

The issue of corruption has entered the NTB Prosecutor's Office for the initial findings of the NTB Inspectorate regarding indications of misappropriation of the implementation budget.

The NTB Prosecutor's Office is still listed as determining the handling of the case at the investigation stage. A number of witnesses from the implementing party, the tourism office, have been included in the prosecutor's clarification agenda.
