As many as 30 employees of the Riau Provincial DPRD Secretariat have returned the money resulting from the misuse of a fictitious official travel order (SPPD) worth Rp2.17 billion to investigators of Sub-Directorate III of the Riau Regional Police Special Criminal Investigation Directorate.
Riau Police Criminal Investigation Director Koombes Ade Kuncoro Ridwan said investigators had confiscated cash and movable or immovable assets worth billions of rupiah from related parties.
"So far, the total evidence of confiscated money has reached Rp9.28 billion. We are still waiting for a return from other recipients for the flow of funds," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, January 22.
Previously, on Friday (17/1), the Riau Police Ditreskrimsus collected hundreds of state civil servants (ASN), experts, and honorariums in the Riau DPRD who were suspected of receiving a flow of funds from the alleged SPPD fictitious corruption case for the 2020-2021 fiscal year.
Of the 401 witnesses who were targeted for examination, 353 people have been examined. Of that number, 297 witnesses were present in person, while some attended through a zoom meeting because they were out of town.
The police have identified three groups of recipients of the fictitious SPPD case funds, namely ASN, experts, and honorarium, with varying amounts, ranging from under Rp. 100 million to more than Rp. 300 million.
