The East Lombok District Attorney (Kejari) in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) has detained the Temporary Official (Pjs) of the Head of Kerongkong Village with the initials LAA in the alleged corruption case in the distribution of Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) funds and the management of the 2020-2021 Kerongkong Village Fund.

The LAA suspect was detained at the Selong Penitentiary (Lapas) after the findings of evidence confirming any indications of corruption.

"This detention is part of the need for investigations to prevent the suspect from escaping and eliminating evidence," said Head of the Intelligence Section of the East Lombok Kejari I Putu Bayu Pinarta when contacted Tuesday, October 22, confiscated by Antara.

The suspect, Acting Head of the Kerong Village, is indicated to be corruption after the East Lombok Kejari examined 24 witnesses, auditors and found that there was a state loss of Rp. 200 million.

Against the suspect LAA, the East Lombok Kejari applied Article 2 paragraph (1) and/or Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001.

Bayu said that the East Lombok Kejari investigators are still coordinating with the research prosecutor to complete the case file belonging to the suspect LAA.

"So, for the time being the file has not been P-21 (declared complete by the research prosecutor). Investigators still have to coordinate with the research prosecutor team, whether the file still needs to be completed or can be declared complete," he said.
