The Cianjur District Attorney (Kejari) has detained the village head (Kades) Margaluyu SA for alleged corruption in the village budget (APBdes) for the 2020-2021 fiscal year with a state loss of Rp339 million.

Head of the Cianjur District Attorney's Office, Yudi Prihastoro, said that the village head, who had served two terms, was suspected of committing a criminal act of corruption from 2020 to 2021 to pay his personal debt.

"The suspect tricked him by making reports on physical and unphysical work such as road construction and the procurement of stationery, while for unphysical purposes in the form of wages for village employees with a total of Rp339 million," said Yudi in Cianjur, West Java, Tuesday, May 9, which was confiscated by Antara.

He explained that every development project was carried out, minus the volume. Some of them were not carried out so that his party had time to check in the field to prove the allegation.

Some of the physical works suspected of being corrupted include concrete congestion on Margaluyu 2, Pasirjambu 2 Street, Batugede Street, and concrete congestion on Margaluyu 3 Street, as well as a number of physical work that was not carried out in the 2020-2021 fiscal year.

"The suspect has been deposited in Cianjur Prison during the investigation, or for the next 20 days," he said.

The suspect's statement, he continued, was for personal gain, including paying debts to banks.

SA will be charged with Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001 with a threat of 15 to 20 years in prison.
