The suspect in the alleged corruption case in the management of government capital investment funds for the Regional Public Company (Perusda) of West Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, who came from a third party with the initials EK filed as a collaborator for justice collaborator (JC) to the prosecutor's investigators. Head of the Special Crimes Section of the West Sumbawa Kejari Lalu Irwan Suyadi said that the submission of suspect EK as JC in the case is currently underway at the investigation stage. "Yes, we have received the letter of application for suspect EK as JC and now we are still in the process of further review," said Irwan when contacted from Taliwang, Antara, Thursday, August 31. The attorney for suspect EK, Lalu Anton Hariawan said that the submission as JC was the suspect's willingness to assist the investigation process by revealing the flow of money to a number of regional officials. "So our client has proof of transfers to several unscrupulous officials from 2018 to 2020. For those in 2016, 2017, and 2021 (transfer evidence) we are still collecting data. That's why our client volunteered as JC," said Anton. Regarding the nominal transfer and who are the officials who also enjoy the money for managing the West Sumbawa Perusda funds, he emphasized that his client would reveal this to investigators. "The point is that the nominal transfer is quite fantastic, some are in the range of hundreds of millions. Who are the officials who receive it? We will convey all of that to investigators and we will also open it in court," he said. Suspect EK in this case is the director of a private company that acts as a partner of Perusda West Sumbawa. EK was named a suspect along with SA, Director of Perusda West Sumbawa. One of the pieces of evidence that stated EK and SA as suspects was related to the discovery of indications of unlawful acts and the emergence of potential state losses of Rp. 2.1 billion in the management of government capital participation funds for the period 2016 to 2021 with a total of Rp. 7.2 billion. With the construction of these findings, investigators named both of them as suspects in the alleged management of capital participation that was not in accordance with the provisions of the cooperation agreement. By finding indications of such a violation of the law, investigators apply the allegations of Article 2 paragraph (1) and/or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the eradication of criminal acts of corruption as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code jo. Article 64 of the Criminal Code.

In handling this case, the prosecutor's investigator first detained SA by entrusting the person concerned at the West Sumbawa Police Detention Center. Meanwhile, the detention of suspect EK, Irwan, was reluctant to convey on the grounds of maintaining the safety and security of the suspect.
