JAKARTA - The District Attorney for Muara Enim Regency, South Sumatra, has named WDA as a suspect in the alleged corruption case in the management of replacement costs for blood treatment (BPPD) in the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) local area in 2022-2024.
"The suspect is the treasurer of the Blood Donation Unit (UDD) PMI Muara Enim," said Head of the Muara Enim Kejari, Zulfahmi, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, December 10.
He said the determination of this suspect was the result of an in-depth investigation conducted by the Special Crimes Team (Pidsus) based on the Investigation Order Number: PRINT-03.h/L.6.15/Fd.1/10/2025 dated November 19, 2025.
He explained that UDD PMI Muara Enim received BPPD income in accordance with the provisions of the Indonesian Ministry of Health and the PMI Central Management Decree at a rate of Rp. 360 thousand per blood bag.
However, he said, the results of the financial examination in this case showed irregularities.
He mentioned that the expenditure on the 2024 newspaper signed was recorded at IDR 2.48 billion, but the accountability report was only IDR 1.95 billion, so the difference was later investigated and irregularities were found.
In the investigation process, he said, WDA was suspected of carrying out various manipulation efforts to enrich oneself by making five fake receipts for disbursement of the purchase of blood bags.
The suspect added the number one to the two invoices, thus adding a nominal value of around Rp. 100 million per invoice, as well as checking up on the purchase of snacks and UDD blanks.
"In addition, the suspect is also suspected of marking the price in spending and using money disbursed from the BPPD account for personal gain," he said.
According to him, based on the results of an audit from the South Sumatra BPKP, in this case there was a state loss of Rp477,809,672.
For his actions, said Zulfahmi, the suspect will be charged with Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 18 paragraph (1) letter b of the Anti-Corruption Law and Subsidies Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 paragraph (1) letter b of the Anti-Corruption Law with a minimum penalty of four years and a maximum of 20 years in prison.
"We ensure that the investigation process continues to develop. For the WDA itself, detention will be carried out for the next 20 days for the purposes of investigation," he said.
