ACEH - Aceh Police are investigating a case of alleged corruption in operational funds that occurred at PT Pos Indonesia (Persero) Rimo Sub-Branch Office (KCP), Aceh Singkil Regency. Investigators from the Corruption Sub-Directorate of the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate estimated losses of more than Rp. 1.2 billion.
Director of the Special Criminal Investigation of the Aceh Police, Kombes Pol Zulhir Destrian in Banda Aceh, Sunday, said that the handling of the corruption case had been upgraded from the investigation stage to the investigation stage.
"Investigators have carried out a case title to raise the status of case handling to the investigation stage. This case involves an official PT Pos Indonesia with the initials D," he said, quoting ANTARA, May 4.
Zulhir Destrian said the increase in the status of case handling after a series of investigations, including the examination of a number of witnesses, the collection of evidence, and requests for an investigative audit from the Internal Supervision Unit of the Medan Regional I Post Office.
This allegation of corruption, he said, involved an official of PT Pos Indonesia with the initials D (43), who served as Head of KCP Class 4 Rimo at the Tapaktuan Branch Office.
D is suspected of carrying out fictitious transactions for illegal investment purposes, aka bulging. The first mode is done through cash transactions to accounts on the POS Hospital application by engineering them as if there was a deposit of funds.
"In fact, no money was actually deposited, but the system noted as if the funds had been entered, with a total of more than IDR 691.5 million," said Zulhir Destrian.

The alleged perpetrator allegedly manipulated cash transactions in a giro, then directed the account owner to transfer money to a certain account in the amount of Rp512.1 million.
"The perpetrator's actions in carrying out these fictitious transactions caused PT Pos Indonesia to suffer losses of up to Rp1.2 billion," Zulhir Destrian added.
Currently, investigators are still completing the investigation administration, continuing to examine additional witnesses, and preparing the process of determining the suspect.
"Investigators continue to work to collect statements from witnesses and evidence for the determination of the suspect. Furthermore, the case files will soon be transferred to the public prosecutor for further legal proceedings," said Zulhir Destrian.
