RIAU - new evidence was found in the corruption case of a fictitious Official Travel Order (SPPD) at the Riau DPRD Secretariat in 2020-2021. The evidence consists of 35 thousand fictitious aircraft tickets and 12 thousand fictitious Accountability Certificates (SPJ).

"Regarding the 35,000 fictitious plane tickets and fictitious SPJs, it only happened at the Riau DPRD Secretariat. So it's not in the Council. Regarding whether the DPRD members are carrying out official trips, we don't know. Because what we checked was only at the Secretariat of the DPRD. And at that time, the Secretary of the Riau DPRD was held by Muflihun," said Head of Sub-Directorate III of the Riau Police Ditreskrimsus, Kompol Gede Prasetia Adi Sasmita to reporters, Wednesday, September 4.

Kompol Gede Prasetia emphasized that the fictitious SPPD corruption case of the Riau DPRD secretariat has nothing to do with the official travel of Riau DPRD members. This is because the case being handled by the Riau Police is only an alleged fictitious SPPD corruption that occurred at the Riau DPRD Secretariat. Moreover, he said, this case attracted the public's attention because the number of fictitious SPPDs reached tens of thousands.

"Never mind the community, we as investigators are surprised. That many SPPDs can only occur in the Riau DPRD Secretariat. Even now the alleged fictitious plane tickets have increased again. Not 35 thousand more, but most likely much more than that," he said.

This police sciences graduate admitted that his party was verifying and validating with the relevant airlines. The goal is to ensure the validity of the forged tickets, aka fictitious.

"We are still verifying with the Lion Group," said Gede.

However, the Riau Police are still asking for time to resolve this case. Although many parties want to immediately identify the suspect in the fictitious SPPD corruption case.

"So we also need to clarify that what we are currently handling is only related to fictitious SPPDs at the Riau DPRD Secretariat. Not by the leadership or members of the Riau DPRD. That much number happened because there were hundreds of THL at the Riau DPRD Secretariat, many documents were made which we suspect are fictitious. And all of this is still in progress. The examination of the former secretary of the Riau DPRD, Muflihun, has also not been completed. Please we are also given the opportunity to resolve this, "he said.
