BANDA ACEH - Mantan Wali Kota Lhokseumawe Suaidi Yahya yang ditetapkan sebagai tersangka kasus korupsi PT RS Arun Lhokseumawe ditahan di Lapas Kelas IIA Lhokseumawe, setelah sebelumnya sempat ditahan di Lapas Kelas IIB Lhoksukon, Aceh Utara.

"Because there is something and other things by considering all aspects, the suspect SY is entrusted to Lhokseumawe Prison," said Head of the Intelligence Section of the Lhokseumawe Kejari, Therry Gutama, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, May 22.

Therry explained that one of the reasons for the transfer of Suaidi Yahya was due to health factors and also requests from his family.

"Health factors are one of our considerations for moving the suspect from Lhoksukon Prison to Lhokseumawe Prison," he said.

Previously, the Lhokseumawe Kejari named former Lhokseumawe Mayor Suaidi Yahya as a suspect in the alleged corruption case at PT Arun Lhokseumawe Hospital with state losses reaching Rp44.9 billion.

Kajari Lhokseumawe Lalu Syaifudin said the suspect SY and suspect Hariadi were two main actors in the corruption case of PT Arun Lhokseumawe Hospital. Suspect H, who is the former President Director of PT RS Arun, was previously named a suspect.

"The two suspects are the main perpetrators, because together they are so that this incident (the corruption case of PT Arun Lhokseumawe Hospital. Red) can happen," he said.

Then Syaifudin said that the determination of the suspect against Suaidi Yahya had previously been examined as a witness. The determination was carried out in accordance with the support of the evidence and witnesses who had been examined.

"Suamidi Yahya was immediately detained for the smooth running of the investigation process without any disturbance and it was feared that he would run away, destroy or eliminate evidence and take actions to obstruct the investigation process," he said.
