JAKARTA - Bareskrim will conduct a case of alleged corruption in Citemu Village funds, Cirebon. In this case, Nurhayati, who was the reporter, was later named a suspect.

"Regarding the case of Nurhayati, tomorrow a case will be held at the National Police Headquarters," said Karo Penmas of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan to reporters, Thursday, February 24.

The case is held at the Investigative Supervisory Bureau (Wassidik). The title of this case is to determine whether or not the handling of the case involving the former Head of the Citemu Village Financial Affairs (Kaur) is correct.

"The case will be held at 09.00 WIB, after carrying out the title we will convey it," said Ramadhan.

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.

Cirebon City Police Chief AKBP Fahri Siregar previously emphasized that the determination of the suspect status to Nurhayati was in accordance with the rule of law. The police have several times completed case files for cases of corruption in village funds carried out by the Village Head Citemu Supriyadi, but the Public Prosecutor always refuses, arguing that they are incomplete.

Fahri continued that after the file was rejected, his party re-examined the case, and then referred to the treasurer of Citemu Nurhayati Village, after the person concerned was named a suspect after fulfilling the evidence.

"Sister Nurhayati was examined in depth, whether the act (with disbursing funds) was against the law or not. And from the results of the investigation that Sister Nurhayati was involved in enriching Supriadi's brother (so he was named a suspect)," he said.

Fahri admitted that his party had not found any evidence related to the flow of village funds into Nurhayati's personal pocket. However, his party confirmed that the determination of Nurhayati's suspect was in accordance with the rule of law.
