"Today a team of investigators from the NTT High Prosecutor's Office conducted a search at the Kupang Regency DPRD Secretariat Office to look for evidence related to the corruption case of transferring assets to the Kupang Regency Government," said Head of the Legal Information and Public Relations Section of the NTT High Prosecutor's Office, Abdul Hakim when contacted in Kupang, Between, Friday, November 5th.

He said the legal process for the alleged corruption case of the transfer of land and building assets belonging to the Kupang Regency Government was already at the investigation stage.

He said the case of the transfer of government assets occurred in 2009 after the approval of the Kupang Regency DPRD.

"Investigators of the NTT High Prosecutor's Office need a number of pieces of evidence related to the approval of the Kupang Regency DPRD for the process of transferring government assets," said Abdul Hakim.
