        "summary": "The Chief of Manggarai Barat Police, AKBP Christian Kadang, has firmly denied any involvement of Ipda Adhar, head of the Specific Crimes Unit, in a case where seven police officers are suspected of hoarding subsidised diesel fuel in East Manggarai, NTT. Christian emphasised that cross-checks confirm Adhar's lack of connection to the arrested individuals and pledged stricter enforcement against any future violations within the force. The incident highlights oversight lapses in fuel distribution, prompting apologies and commitments to enhanced monitoring to prevent recurrence, as the regional police continue investigations into the broader scheme involving 30 tons of fuel.",
        "content": "<p>Seven police officers are suspected of involvement in a case of\nhoarding subsidised diesel fuel in East Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara\n(NTT). One of them is Ipda Adhar, Head of the Specific Crimes Unit\n(Kanit Tipidter) at the Manggarai Barat Police Station\u2019s Criminal\nInvestigation Unit. However, the Manggarai Barat Police Chief, AKBP\nChristian Kadang, has denied Adhar\u2019s involvement.<\/p>\n<p>Christian asserted that Adhar has no connection, either personal or\nprofessional, to the fuel hoarding case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter cross-checking the facts on the ground, Ipda A (Adhar) has\nnever been involved or associated with the individuals secured by the\nNTT Regional Police\u2019s Professional and Security Division regarding the\nfuel case,\u201d Christian stated firmly in a written statement on Monday\n(27\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He emphasised that he would not turn a blind eye if violations are\ndiscovered in the future. Institutional integrity, Christian said,\nremains the top priority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding this illegal fuel issue, I reiterate that we will take\nfirm action if, in the future, any members are proven to have violated\nregulations or engaged in such activities. There is no place for\nlawbreakers in this institution,\u201d Christian said.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Christian also expressed apologies for the\noversight gaps in energy distribution supervision in his jurisdiction\nthat were exploited by individuals outside his unit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe apologise for the illegal fuel distribution that slipped through\nfrom East Manggarai to Labuan Bajo. We assure that monitoring measures\nwill be significantly enhanced to prevent similar incidents in the\nfuture,\u201d Christian stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Previously reported, the subsidised diesel hoarding case in East\nManggarai has implicated seven police officers. Not only that, the fuel\nflow is suspected to end up at a company, totalling 30 tons.<\/p>\n<p>Two members of the Manggarai Timur Police Station\u2019s Professional and\nSecurity Division, namely Aipda Djefri Loudoe (DGL) alias Jelo and\nBripda HFI, were the first to be uncovered in this case. Both are\nsuspected of direct involvement in hoarding subsidised diesel.<\/p>\n<p>Information gathered by detikBali indicates that the case also\ninvolves Iptu Herman Pati Bean, Commander of Company 4 Battalion B\nPelopor Satbrimob Polda NTT, Ipda Adhar of the Manggarai Barat Police\nStation\u2019s Specific Crimes Unit, and Brimob member Hendra Aman. In total,\nseven police officers are now suspected to be embroiled.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of Public Relations for NTT Regional Police, Kombes Henry\nNovika Chandra, stated that his side is still delving into the\nallegations of involvement of the seven police officers. The examination\nis currently being conducted by the NTT Regional Police\u2019s Professional\nand Security Division.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m gathering information first.
