JATENG - The District Attorney (Kejari) of Kudus Regency searched the office of the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) Kudus and confiscated a number of important documents and a laptop related to the alleged corruption case of grant funds, Thursday, November 2.

"Our presence at the KONI office is to look for several documents that have not been given by the witnesses who were questioned, so a search was carried out," said Head of the Kudus Prosecutor's Office Henriyadi W. Putro in Kudus, Central Java (Central Java), Thursday, November 2, confiscated by Antara.

He revealed that the search started from 10.00 WIB to 12.00 WIB. Meanwhile, the documents obtained included documents related to accountability reports for the 2020, 2021, and 2022 fiscal years, as well as several electronic items such as laptops.

The contents of the laptop, he said, would be checked to be used as evidence. Meanwhile, other documents confiscated are supporting documents for the management of grant funds and submission of proposals from each sports administrator.

"Later it will be inventoried and sort out which one is related to the accountability report of KONI grant funds," he said.

Meanwhile, the determination of the suspect, he said, was after the required evidence was fulfilled, including today's search activities in order to complete the existing evidence, including from BPKP.

The number of suspects, he added, could not be disclosed, because it had to be adjusted to the existing evidence.

Dari hasil penyelidikan, Kejari Kudus memang menemukan adanya tindakan melanggar aturan dalam pengelolaan dana hibah karena tidak sesuai pertujuannya dan bersifat fiktif.

The value of the losses calculated temporarily ranges from Rp1.6 billion and could be more. The value of this loss is the result of an examination from the Kudus District Attorney's Office, not the development of the previous BPK findings.

In the 2022 fiscal year, KONI Kudus received a grant from the Education, Youth and Sports Office of Rp. 10.9 billion, with details from the pure APBD of Rp. 8.4 billion and from the 2022 Revised APBD of Rp. 2.5 billion.

Meanwhile, the number of sports district administrators in Kudus is 53 Pengcab. Meanwhile, in the distribution of the budget, it is suspected that there are problems ranging from someone who does not get a budget until the budget received is not in accordance with the budget plan (RAB).

Of the 60 witnesses who were questioned, they came from the district head, KONI administrators, athletes, officials in the Education Office, BPKAD, and Inspectorate. Including from the private bank and former Chairman of the Kudus KONI, Imam T riyanto, his statement was also asked for.
