JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office revealed the mode of corruption of the DKI Jakarta Culture Service in the form of fictitious activities using fake stamps.

In this case, three people have been named as suspects, namely the Head of the DKI Culture Service (Disbud) Iwan Henry Wardhana (IHW), the Head of the Utilization Division of the DKI Disbud Mohamad Fairza Maulana (MFM), and the private sector as the owner of the EO named Gatot Arif Rahmadi (GAR).

Head of the DKI High Prosecutor's Office, Patris Yusrian Jaya, explained that in carrying out this action, Iwan and Fairza collaborated with Gatot as EO for DKI Disbud activities. EO named GR-Pro which was founded by Gatot was also fictitious and not officially registered.

"Then this EO created several companies, made vendors who then carried out activities in the provincial government, as if carried out by this EO, and cooperated with the vendors below it," said Patris, Thursday, December 2.

Activities in collaboration with GR-Pro are launched with two variations, namely fully fictitious activities, then partial activities are carried out and some are fictitious.

In carrying out activities sourced from regional apparatus APBDs such as Disbud, it must make an accountability for the use of the budget.

To cover the gap, Iwan and Fairza made an accountability letter or SPJ using fake stamps and borrowed several companies in exchange for 2.5 percent. The company did not carry out activities like those made at the SPJ of the Culture Service.

"One of the activities is an art performance with a budget of Rp. 15 billion. The manipulation modes include bringing in several parties and then being given uniforms as dancers," explained Patris.

"Furthermore, photos on stage and given the title as if this photo after carrying out certain dance activities, But the dance never existed. And this was later made accountable. It was also equipped with fake stamps from the manager," he added.

Currently, Gatot as the owner of the fictitious EO has been detained at the Cipinang Rutan for 20 days, after undergoing examination as a suspect. Then, the DKI Attorney General's Office scheduled a summons to Iwan and Fairza as the suspect's examination next week.

The corruption action began when the DKI Jakarta Attorney General's Office searched the DKI Jakarta Culture Service office on Wednesday, December 18, 2024.

The basis for the cancellation is the alleged deviation of activity funds sourced from the Budget of the Jakarta Special Regional Provincial Culture Office for the 2023 fiscal year with an activity value of approximately Rp150 billion. The value of the activities that are corrupted will still grow along with the investigation.

What is clear is that these parties have admitted that they prepared the fake stamps and they have used them, some of which have even been destroyed before the search.

Fortunately, not all of the search times, but the destruction of the stamps, destruction of documents, and other steps we managed to get the details during the search.

The DKI Prosecutor's Office confiscated Rp1 billion from the search. It was also confiscated by hundreds of fake stamps used to make the impression of organizing an activity. Some of the fake stamps had previously been destroyed by the suspect.
