PALU - The Central Sulawesi Police (Sulteng) has examined an individual Police Brigadier D and a number of other witnesses related to the alleged bribery case of receiving the National Police Officer in Palu City with evidence of around Rp. 4.4 billion.

"We are currently working on it, later we will convey developments or other legal processes," explained the Head of Public Relations of the Central Sulawesi Police, Kombes Didik Supranoto, to reporters in Palu City, Antara, Thursday, August 18.

Brigadier D has been detained to undergo the examination process, while evidence of money amounting to Rp. 4.4 billion has been returned to a number of parents of prospective students participating in the selection of the National Police Officers.

A total of 18 prospective students participating in the selection of National Police Officers who were suspected of handing money to Brigadier D had been declared void by the selection committee because they were proven to have violated the integrity pact.

"The money has been returned, everything has the minutes and there is evidence of the handover," said Didik Supranoto.

He added that the examination of the witnesses was still being carried out to find out the involvement of other actors in the bribery case for the receipt of the National Police Officer.

“Briptu D is not included in the committee and for the time being it has not been found any involvement of other elements. Later the progress of the results will be conveyed, "explained the Head of Public Relations.

Previously, the Sub-Directorate Team for Internal Security of the Central Sulawesi Regional Police arrested an individual Police Brigadier D on a public report regarding bribes in receiving the second batch of NCO in Central Sulawesi on June 28, 2022.

The Paminal Sub-Directorate Team also found around Rp. 4.4 billion, which was suspected to be a gift from 18 prospective students participating in the National Police Officer's acceptance. In addition to detaining Brigadier D, the Central Sulawesi Police team also secured two cars.

"This is the commitment of the Central Sulawesi Regional Police to eradicate the practice of brokers in recruiting NCO students," added Didik Supranoto.
