The District Attorney's Office (Kejari) handed over evidence and two suspects in the alleged corruption case in the construction of the West Pasaman Regional General Hospital (RSUD) for the 2018-2020 fiscal year to the public prosecutor (JPU).

"The budget for the activity is Rp. 134,859,961,000. The two suspects are Ali Munar and Novri Indra," said Head of West Pasaman District Attorney's Office, Ginanjar Cahya Permana, at Simpang Empat, West Sumatra (West Sumatra), quoted from Antara, Friday 18 November.

Ginanjar said the case file submitted to the prosecutor had been declared complete (P21) so the Kejari handed over the suspect and evidence in stage two cases of alleged corruption in the West Pasaman Hospital construction project with a budget ceiling of more than Rp134.85 billion.

After the second stage of submission, the West Pasaman Kejari investigators also examined the identities of the suspects and the documents used as evidence.

The two suspects then underwent a medical examination and after being declared healthy and free from COVID 19 were immediately taken to the Water Children's Detention Center in Padang.

"They are detained by the public prosecutor for the next 20 days starting today at the Air Padang Detention Center," he said.

According to Ginanjar, the two suspects were subject to articles 2, 3, 5 and 12 of Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.

In this case, the West Pasaman Kejari has named 11 suspects.

The suspects are each Commitment Making Officer (PPK) with the initials NI, liaison or third party with the initials AM, Director of PT MAM Energindo with the initials AA, use of the activity budget or former Director of the West Pasaman Hospital who is also the initials PPK Y, BS, HW, and the Director of Construction Management with the initials MY. Then the four construction committees have the initials AS, LA, TA and YE.

Of the 11 suspects, almost all of them were detained and deposited at the West Pasaman Police Detention Center. Meanwhile, two suspects with the initials BS and HW were sent home or received medical treatment due to illness.

Ginanjar explained, in the corruption case for the construction of the West Pasaman Hospital, it was found that there were allegations of bribery worth IDR 4.5 billion, construction losses of around IDR 20 billion and also losses in its planning.

Kejari Pasaman Barat juga telah menerima uang pengembalian dana dari suap gratifikasi dan dari kerugian fisik proyek senilai Rp5,7 miliar lebih, rinciannya dari suap dan gratifikasi senilai Rp4,27 miliar dan dari kerugian fisik Rp1,5 miliar.

"The money was deposited in the holding account of the West Pasaman District Attorney's Office in one of the existing banks. If later there is a permanent decision from the court, the money will be returned to the West Pasaman regional treasury," he said.

Investigators are currently coordinating with the intelligence team of the West Sumatra High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) to track the assets of the perpetrators or suspects so that later confiscation will be carried out. Currently, the prosecutor's office is still developing and examining a number of parties so that it is possible that there are new suspects in the RSUD corruption case.
