KPK Investigates Tolitoli Regency Car in East Java Controlled by Inactive Kajari HSU

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that it will investigate the reason why the Tolitoli Regency Government (Pemkab) car, Central Sulawesi (Sulteng), can be controlled by the Head of the North Hulu Sungai Regency (HSU), South Kalimantan, Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu (APN), who has been deactivated by the Attorney General's Office.

"Of course, based on this finding, investigators will investigate why the car is still under the control of Kajari Hulu Sungai Utara," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, December 24.

Based on the information collected, Albertinus had served as the Kajari of Tolitoli before serving in the North Hulu Sungai District Court.

Previously, the KPK carried out the 11th hand-in-hand operation (OTT) in 2025, namely in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, South Kalimantan, on December 18, 2025.

On December 19, 2025, the KPK announced the arrest of six people in the OTT, including the Head of the North Hulu Sungai District Court, Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu, and the Head of Intelligence of the North Hulu Sungai District Court, Asis Budianto.

On the same date, the KPK announced the seizure of hundreds of millions of rupiah in a case allegedly related to the extortion.

Then on December 20, 2025, the KPK announced Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu (APN), Asis Budianto (ASB), and Tri Taruna Fariadi (TAR) as the Head of the North Hulu Sungai District Legal and Administrative Affairs as suspects in the alleged extortion case in the law enforcement process in the North Hulu Sungai District in the 2025-2026 fiscal year.

However, on that date, only Albertinus Napitupulu and Asis Budianto were detained by the KPK because Tri Taruna was still on the run.

On December 22, 2025, the Attorney General's Office handed over Tri Taruna to the KPK. The KPK then detained the person concerned for the first 20 days.
