KUDUS - The Kudus District Prosecutor's Office, Central Java, has begun compiling an indictment for the alleged corruption case of village funds with the suspect former Village Head Undaan Lor with the initials EP.

"We are targeting the preparation of the indictment to be completed as soon as possible so that in June 2022 we can delegate it to the Semarang Corruption Court," said the Head of the Special Crimes Section of the Prosecutor's Office, Bambang Sumarsono, in Kudus, Thursday, June 2.

He said the suspect had also returned his state financial loss of Rp260 million.

However, it does not erase his criminal responsibility so that he will process this case legally. This has also been explained in Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001.

He said the former Head of Undaan Lor village had also been named a suspect since August 23, 2021.

When the file is declared complete (P-21), he said, the public prosecutor will give an opinion whether the suspect needs to be detained or not.

Based on the Antara report, with the naming of a suspect against the former Head of Undaan Lor Village, there are three former village heads who have been involved in similar cases, including the former Head of Lau Village and former Head of Tergo Village.

There is a court decision on the alleged corruption case that occurred in Lau Village, while the case involving the former Tergo Village Head is still being appealed.
