SULTENG - The Central Sulawesi High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) has named two suspects in the International Publication and Collaborative Center (IPCC) corruption case at Tadulako University Palu. Losses in this riot are estimated at IDR 1.7 billion. "The two suspects each have the initials MB as the Chancellor of Untad for the 2015-2019 period and TB for Untad officials," said Acting (Plt) Head of the Legal Information Section of the Central Sulawesi Attorney General's Office Abdul Haris Kiay in Palu City, Thursday, October 12, confiscated by Antara. He revealed that the two suspects were suspected of being involved in the IPCC corruption case after a long investigation. MB and TB were detained for the next 20 days after being named suspects. "Detention of the two is based on detention warrant number: 02.P2.P.5 FD10/2023," he said. The two suspects were examined for more than four hours in the examination room of the Central Sulawesi Prosecutor's Office starting at 09.00-13.20 WITA and then taken to the detention car. "The two suspects were detained at the Palu Class II A State Detention Center," said Haris. In this case, investigators from the Southeast Sulawesi Prosecutor's Office examined about 20 witnesses and confiscated a number of assets worth Rp. 2 billion. These assets are immovable items in the form of land worth approximately Rp. 1.6 billion and buildings worth Rp. 500 million. The confiscation was carried out as an effort by investigators from the Central Sulawesi Attorney General's Office to save state financial losses, based on the determination of the Chairman of the Palu District Court Number 19/PenPid.Sus-TPK-SITA/2023/PN Pal dated August 28, 2023 and a warrant for the confiscation of the Head of the Central Sulawesi High Prosecutor's Office Number Print-42/P.2.5/Fd.1/07 2023 dated July 24, 2023.

In addition, there are also similar findings originating from the results of the examination by the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Education and Culture regarding domestic official travel and fictitious activities worth IDR 574 million. The suspect's attorney, Syahrul, said that the prosecutor's office had named two suspects and immediately made arrests. "As our attorneys, we will continue to follow procedures and channels, as well as study related to the alleged corruption case of IPCC Untad in order to defend his client," he said.
