The South Buru Police (Bursel) has named two suspects in the case of document falsification in the selection process for Government Employees with Work Agreements (PPPK).

"The two suspects are suspected of falsifying documents so that the SL suspect is declared to have passed the selection," said South Buru Police Chief AKBP M. Agung Gumilar in Ambon as reported by Antara, Monday, March 17.

This case began on Monday, December 30, 2024, when one of the participants in the selection of PPPK SK (37) found irregularities in the announcement of the results of the selection.

Even though he received a higher score than the suspect, SL was still declared to have passed through the category 2 (THK-2) of the daily energy route, which was prioritized in the selection.

SK then traced the employment status of SL and found that SL had never worked as an honorary. These findings were reported to the South Buru Police, which then carried out further investigations.

The results of the investigation revealed that SL obtained fake documents in the form of a Decree (SK) on the appointment of non-permanent employees and a Work Active Certificate stating that he worked as an honorary staff at the South Buru Regency Education Office from 2005 to 2024.

The document was made by suspect KS, who manipulated data using his personal laptop. He changed the name and year on the old decree and copied the signatures of the former and official head of the service stored in his personal file.

Due to this incident, the police have confiscated evidence in the form of several decrees for appointment of non-permanent employees from 2015 to 2024.

Then the Active Work Certificate Number 420.1/1025/PEND-BS/X/2024 used by Semuel in the selection of PPPK and laptops used to falsify documents.

The two suspects were charged with Article 263 Paragraph (1) and (2) of the Criminal Code concerning letter forgery, with a maximum penalty of 6 years in prison.

The police are still waiting for the results of the examination of files from the prosecutor's office and ensuring that the legal process runs according to procedures. The situation in South Buru is still conducive," he said.
