Find Out the Budget for Kajari HSU, KPK Checks the Prosecutor

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined Aganta Haris Saputra who was a prosecutor at the Hulu Sungai Urara District Attorney's Office (Kajari) on Wednesday, April 9. He was questioned as a witness to an alleged extortion that ensnared Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu as Head of the HSU District Attorney's Office.

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said that Aganta's statement was needed because investigators were tracing budget cuts related to Albertinus. This also completes the case files of the suspects.

"Investigators are investigating the testimony of witnesses to complete the investigation file related to the budget cuts made by the suspects in the internal Kejari HSU as well as related to the receipts made by APN," said Budi through his written statement quoted on Thursday, April 9.

In addition to Aganta, investigators should also examine two other witnesses, namely Henrikus Ion Sidabutar who is a staff of the Civil and Administrative Affairs Department of the HSU District Court and Anggun Devianty as the Assistant Treasurer of the HSU District Court. However, the two did not meet the call and the examination will be rescheduled.

As previously reported, the KPK named the Head of the North Hulu Sungai (HSU) District Attorney's Office, Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu, the Head of the Intelligence Section of the HSU District Attorney's Office, Asis Budianto, the Head of the Civil and State Administration Section (Datun) of the HSU District Attorney's Office, Tri Taruna Fariadi as suspects in the alleged extortion case. The arrest was made after the three were caught in OTT on Thursday, December 18.

The suspects are suspected of violating Article 12 letter e, Article 12 letter f of the Corruption Eradication Law (UU Tipikor) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1-1 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 64 of the Criminal Code.

After serving as the head of the HSU in August 2025, Albertinus allegedly received a flow of money of at least IDR 804 million, directly or through intermediaries, namely Asis and Tri Taruna and other parties.

The money received came from Albertinus' alleged extortion of a number of regional devices in HSU, including the Education Office, the Health Office, the Public Works Office (PU), and the Regional General Hospital (RSUD).
