After being named a suspect, the prosecutor immediately detained CEM for the next 20 days and entrusted him to the Class II A State Detention Center in Ambon.

The role of the suspect as a partner is to implement the Simdes application procurement activity package, which is to provide satellite-based internet network access for villages in South Buru Regency that do not have a terrestrial signal communication network. However, in its implementation, it is suspected that there was a misappropriation of the budget which resulted in state losses sourced from the Village Budget which were deposited with the suspects from each segment in South Buru Regency. As a result of his actions, the suspect was charged with primary charges of Article 2 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
