        "content": "<p>Ambon (ANTARA) - The Maluku Regional Police (Polda) have designated\nFS, a civil servant (ASN) from the Maluku Prosecutor\u2019s Office, as a\nsuspect in an alleged fraud and embezzlement case, developed from an\ninvestigation into a report received since December 2025. \u201cThis case\noriginated from police report No: LP\/B\/432\/XII\/SPKT\/Polda Maluku dated\n18 December 2025, concerning alleged criminal acts of fraud and\nembezzlement as regulated under the Criminal Code,\u201d said the Head of\nPublic Relations of Polda Maluku, Senior Commissioner Rositah Umasugi,\nin Ambon on Tuesday. During the investigation process, investigators\nfaced several technical obstacles, particularly regarding witness\nattendance, so the complainant SB and witness AW were only questioned on\n12 January 2026 as they had previously been in Namlea. Meanwhile,\nanother witness, FH, underwent examination on 14 January 2026 after\ninitially postponing attendance due to pregnancy and childbirth. In that\nprocess, investigators have examined several parties, namely SB as the\nvictim, AW and FH as witnesses, and FS as the suspect. Additionally,\nevidence in the form of an agreement letter and receipts has been\nseized, with a seizure determination obtained from the Ambon District\nCourt. Subsequently, through a case review on 12 March 2026, FS was\nofficially designated as a suspect. \u201cSince the suspect did not properly\ncomply with summonses twice, legal steps will be taken in the form of\nissuing an arrest warrant,\u201d she stated. She emphasised that such steps\nare taken to ensure legal certainty and accelerate the resolution of the\ncase. \u201cWe are committed to handling this case professionally,\ntransparently, and accountably without favouritism, including towards\nASN personnel,\u201d she added.<\/p>",
