The Medan District Attorney, North Sumatra, has detained Kasi Sarana and Prasarana, Medan Polonia District, Medan City, with the initials KAL after being named a suspect in the alleged corruption case of spending diesel fuel subsidies for the 2024 fiscal year.
"Today, the Medan Kejari Pidsus investigation team detained the suspect KAL for the next 20 days at the Tanjung Gusta Medan Detention Center," said Head of Intelligence at the Medan Kejari, Dapot Dariarma, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, November 17.
Dapot said the detention was carried out after KAL complied with the investigator's summons as a suspect.
Previously, on Wednesday (12/11), investigators from the Medan Kejari Special Prosecutor's Office had named three people as suspects in the case, namely IAS as the former sub-district head of Medan Polonia, KAL as Head of Sarpras, and IRD as sub-district honorary staff.
Before detaining KAL, investigators had already detained IAS at the Tanjung Gusta Medan and IRD detention centers at the Medan City Women's Detention Center for the next 20 days.
"The suspect KAL was only detained today because he previously did not attend the investigator's summons without official reasons," he said.
Kasi Pidsus Kejari Medan Mochamad Ali Rizza explained that in the 2024 fiscal year, IAS as a Budget User (PA) and KAL as the Activity Technical Implementation Officer (PPTK) were suspected of manipulating the document on the realization of the purchase of subsidized diesel fuel.
"The determination of the suspect and detention was carried out after investigators found sufficient evidence for alleged irregularities in the management of the 2024 subsidized diesel fuel budget," he said.
Based on the results of the investigation, said Rizza, in the alleged corruption case, the total budget for subsidized diesel fuel for operational activities for waste transportation in Medan Polonia District in 2024 reached Rp1.017 billion.
Investigator findings show that there is a difference between the fuel volume that is accounted for and the actual use.
"The suspects IAS and KAL are suspected of manipulating the realization document for the purchase of fuel and accounting for the volume that is not in accordance with the facts so that it causes state financial losses of Rp332 million," he said.
Rizza said investigations were still being developed and did not rule out the possibility of other parties being held accountable for the law.
For their actions, the three suspects were suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
