The Southeast Sulawesi High Prosecutor's Office has detained three suspects in the corruption case of fuel oil (BBM) spending at the Southeast Sulawesi Liaison Agency Office in Jakarta.
The three are YY (former Acting Head of the Southeast Sulawesi Liaison Agency), AK (a treasurer) and WKD who are former Heads of the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Liaison Agency (Sultra).
"The three ASNyang are suspected of abusing the 2023 APBD regarding fuel and lubricant spending and other activities at the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Liaison Agency in Jakarta," said Assistant Intelligence (Asintel) of the Southeast Sulawesi High Prosecutor's Office, Muh Ilham in Kendari, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, October 22.
The detention of the suspect was carried out after an examination by investigators from the Southeast Sulawesi High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) on Wednesday plus expert witness statements as well as other clues that prove the existence of a criminal act of corruption.
Based on the instructions and statements of the suspect, the case is then carried out, it is concluded that there is sufficient preliminary evidence to determine the suspect in the case and today.
Assistant for Special Crimes (Aspidsus) of the Southeast Sulawesi Prosecutor's Office, Aditia Aelman Ali explained that the modus operandi of the suspects in abusing the budget was that WKD as the head of the agency asked for a budget that should support the activities of the liaison office but was used to cover WKD's personal interests.
The budget was disbursed in a way as if it were given to employees in the connecting agency but after being disbursed and transferred the budget, the suspect asked to return.
"Untuk pertanggung jawab penggunaan anggaran, tersangka WKD meminta tersangka AK selaku pedahara untuk membuat bukti-bukti pembelian BBM fiktif," katanya.
When the Head of the Southeast Sulawesi Provincial Government Liaison Agency in Jakarta was named the suspect YY, the method of purchasing fuel was changed in the form of procuring fuel coupons with a cooperation contract at six Public Fuel Filling Stations (SPBU).
However, of the six gas stations that were contracted, it was found that only one gas station really had cooperation. While the other five are fictitious.
"The budget money from the fictitious contract disbursed is used for purposes that are not in accordance with its designation and personal needs of suspects YY and AK," he said.
Regarding state losses, Aditia said it was still in the auditor count, but the budget ceiling in the office was worth IDR 2.3 billion in 2023.
