ACEH - The Aceh Truth and Reconciliation Commission (KKR) returned state financial losses of Rp258.5 million from the findings of cases of alleged corruption in fictitious official travel activities (SPPD) at the institution. "We will resolve the fictitious SPPD case at the Aceh KKR by restorative justice and the return of state financial losses, by the Aceh KKR," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Banda Aceh Police, Kompol Fadillah Aditya Pratama in Banda Aceh, as reported by Antara, Thursday, September 7. Fadillah said that in this case initially there was an alleged corruption in the activity of an official travel order (SPPD) at the Aceh KKR which was sourced from Aceh's expenditure income budget (APBA) funds at the Aceh Reintegration Agency (BRA) for the 2022 fiscal year. Fadillah explained that the case began with information to the Banda Aceh Police in February 2023. Where, there were allegations of corruption on the Aceh KKR official trip sourced from APBA for the 2022 fiscal year at the Aceh Reintegration Agency (BRA) amounting to Rp772 million. This fictitious SPPD case involved 58 people consisting of seven Commissioners of the Aceh KKR, 18 staff of the BRA secretariat, 33 pokja. They traveled to 14 regencies/cities in Aceh within February-December 2022, and left the province. "All of them with 51 assignments, as well as official trips outside Aceh province four times to Jakarta, and one departure to Bali," he said. From the official trip, said Fadillah, discrepancies were found, including fictitious official travel, inflating the cost of lodging costs, the return time was faster than the assignment. Then, receipts for fictitious lodging costs, as well as payments for official travel expenses for workshops to Bali that do not comply with the provisions. After that, his party asked for an investigative audit from the Aceh Inspectorate, until it was found that there was a state financial loss of Rp258.5 million. The losses were found from fictitious SPPD of Rp47 million, inflated lodging costs of Rp65 million, faster return of Rp45 million, fictitious bill of Rp78 million, and pocket money not in accordance with the provisions of Rp22 million. "We have examined all of them, starting from the Chairman of the Aceh KKR, PPTK, KKR Commissioners, treasurers, technical staff, and several members of the KKR Working Group," he said. After the examination, finally the settlement was carried out in a restorative justice manner, his party gave KKR time to deposit the country's financial losses again.

"This step is also one of the priorities in terms of criminal acts of corruption. We prioritize the return of state financial losses. So, the case is not continued," said Kompol Fadillah.
