The Suspect's Recognition Of Alleged Gratification In Corruption In West Sumbawa Perusda Will Be Investigated By The Prosecutor's Office

NTB - Investigators from the District Attorney's Office (Kejari) are investigating the alleged flow of gratification in the alleged corruption case in the management of government capital investment funds in the West Sumbawa Regional Company (Perusda), West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

In this case, the West Sumbawa Kejari has named two suspects. Both are EK as the director of a private company that acts as a partner of Perusda West Sumbawa. Another suspect is AS, the Director of Perusda West Sumbawa for the 2016-2021 period.

Allegations of the flow of gratuities emerged from the examination of suspect EK. "Because of that, we will definitely explore it, but for now we are still focusing on the main crime," said Rasyid by telephone, Friday, October 6, quoted by Antara.

The suspect EK, who claimed to be open in this case, admitted to investigators that West Sumbawa Perusda not only provided capital loans to a company owned by his client with the initials PAM, but another company with the initials SP.

This was conveyed by the attorney for suspect EK, Lalu Anton Hariawan. Anton continued, his client said that Perusda West Sumbawa also carried out a criminal mode similar to the company with the initials SP.

He also questioned the prosecutor's commitment in handling cases that did not investigate capital loans to SP companies.

"Why is this (the SP company loan) not being investigated either? I hope that with the recognition from our client, investigators can reveal the role of other people (suspects)," he said.

Suspect EK also, said Anton, admitted that he had transferred money and there was also cash to a number of employees of Perusda West Sumbawa, whose nominal value reached hundreds of millions.

In addition to the flow to the Perusda employees, there is also a flow to government officials. According to EK's statement, Anton said that his client sent money in the form of transfers worth Rp. 1 billion.

"We have also shown the proof of transfer to the Perusda employees and officials to the investigators. We have the evidence," he said.
