Maluku High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) has named three suspects in the alleged corruption case in the budget for the construction of the Rombatu-Manusa Road in Inamosol District, West Seram Regency for the 2013 fiscal year worth IDR 31 billion.

"There have been three suspects named for the Inamosol road project case," said Deputy Head of the Maluku Attorney General's Office, Agoes S. Prasetyo, in Ambon, Maluku, Thursday, December 22.

He said the identity of the suspect as well as their position or role in this case would be officially announced in the near future. He asked to wait for an announcement from investigators.

Meanwhile, the Assistant for Special Crimes (Aspidsus) of the Maluku Attorney General's Office, Triono Rahyudi, said that the process of calculating state financial losses by the provincial inspectorate had also been carried out.

"The number of state financial losses in this project already exists and will later be announced along with the identities and roles of the suspects in this case," he said.

Previously, the Maluku Attorney General's Office investigators had also involved a team of experts who went to the location to assess their physical work and found elements of alleged corruption.

The finding of elements of alleged corruption in the Inamosol case is known based on the results of expert assessments and after a series of investigations in the form of data collection and information collection.

The road construction project that connects Rombatu to Manusa in Inamosol District in the 2018 fiscal year is allegedly not completed.

On that basis, the public made a report to the prosecutor's office and was supported by a demonstration by the Maluku People's Information Convex and People's Fighters Community at the Maluku Prosecutor's Office and the West Seram Regency Public Works and Public Housing Office and DPRD since the end of 2021.

The protesters demanded that the Head of the West Seram PUPR Service Thomas Wattimena and the head of PT BSA as contractors in the project be transparent over the unfinished road construction.

Triono added, for the handling of cases of alleged corruption in health checks or medical checks up, the candidates for regional heads for simultaneous elections in 2016-2020 were worth Rp. 2 billion at the Haulussy Hospital in Ambon.

"The Maluku Prosecutor's Office has also named a suspect in this case," he said.
