Two Schemes To Release The Status Of Suspect Nurhayati As A Corruption Reporter: Correction Of P-21 And SKPP

JAKARTA - The National Police have prepared two schemes to settle or stop the alleged corruption case of village funds with the suspect Nurhayati. Starting from correcting the determination of P21 to overseeing the issuance of the Decision on the Termination of Prosecution (SKPP) at the Prosecutor's Office.

"Based on the results of the coordination, there are two options. The first option is that the Criminal Investigation Unit said it would make corrections to the determination of P21," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo to reporters, Tuesday, March 1.

In correcting P21's assessment, the Criminal Investigation Department through the Investigative Supervisory Bureau (Wassidik) conducted a case title. The goal is to find out whether there are errors in the investigation process.

The second scheme that is prepared is to carry out stage two. This means that Nurhayati and the evidence in the alleged corruption case will be transferred to the Prosecutor's Office.

With this delegation, the Prosecutor's Office will issue a Decision on Termination of Prosecution (SKPP). Thus, the case will automatically be terminated. "The second option is to transfer the case file to the Prosecutor's Office, and later the Prosecutor's Office in accordance with the Prosecutor's Law will carry out an SKPP or a letter of termination of prosecution," said Dedi.

Previously, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD signaled that the determination of the status of suspect Nurhayati, who reported the alleged corruption of APBDes funds in Cirebon, would be stopped.

Mahfud admitted that he had communicated with the National Police and the Attorney General's Office regarding the termination of Nurhayati's suspect status. In fact, he also communicated with the Criminal Investigation Police to be carried out as soon as possible.

"Nurhayati, God willing, I have communicated with the two institutions so that a solution can be found immediately," he said in a virtual press statement, Sunday, February 27.

Mahfud explained that the revocation of the suspect status of Nurhayati is expected to give a message to the public not to be afraid to report corruption cases.

"So that people dare to report. In accordance with the President's recommendation to the whole community, to have the courage to report if someone is suspected of committing corruption and there is sufficient evidence," he said.

Meanwhile, Nurhayati is a reporter for a case of alleged misappropriation of village funds that caused state losses of Rp800 million from 2018 to 2020. However, she who was previously a reporter is now a suspect.

Nurhayati is a former Treasurer of Citemu Village. He is said to have assisted the Head of Citemu Supriyadi in committing corruption.
