DENPASAR - Badung District Attorney investigators named a Badung Regency General Election Commission (KPU) official with the initials IGNW suspected of committing a crime of corruption in grant funds for the 2020 Badung Regency Regent and Deputy Regent Elections

Badung Prosecutor's Office Head Imran Yusuf said the IGNW suspect was suspected of being involved in corruption in the use of grant funds for the 2020 election in Badung Regency, Bali.

The modus operandi carried out by the suspect IGNW as KPA/PPK is to directly appoint the job of procuring event organizer services engaged in the business of producing television programs.

"The items of work carried out were paid for by the Badung Regency KPU and were found not to reflect honesty in financial reporting", he said.

In addition, said Imran, investigators also found excess payments to third parties in the context of the 2020 election for the Regent and Deputy Regent of Badung Regency.

Imran said that during the investigation into the alleged corruption case that had been carried out since the beginning of 2023, the Badung District Attorney's Investigative Team had conducted an examination and had collected evidence to clarify the crime.

"During the investigation process, ten witnesses have been examined, both from the Badung Regency KPU, as well as a third party carrying out work related to the 2020 election of the Badung Regency Regent and Deputy Regent", he said.

From all the evidence collected, the investigation team at the Badung District Attorney's Office then named one suspect for alleged corruption in the 2020 election for the Regent and Deputy Regent of Badung Regency.

The disclosure of this case, said Imran, began with the results of an investigation into the Badung Regency KPU which had received grants from the Badung Regency Government in holding the election for the 2020 Badung Regency Regent and Deputy Regent.

In the six activities for the procurement of goods/construction work/other services related to the use of grant funds for the 2020 election, the Badung Regency KPU has appointed a third party to carry out the work according to the work order (SPK) drawn up and signed by KPA/PPK, namely the suspect IGNW.

However, for the six SPKs, the Badung Regency KPU has taken over several work items that should have been carried out by third parties and has even paid for them themselves without going through partners.

In this case, the suspect IGNW is suspected of violating Article 12 letter i or Article 9 of the Corruption Crime Law and a further investigation will be carried out.

Meanwhile, according to the statement of the Head of the Badung Attorney General's Intelligence Section (Plh), I Nyoman Triarta Kurniawan, the IGNW suspect has not been detained. Kurniawan has not disclosed the value of the loss from this case.
