17 Cibinong Prison Staff Imposed with Disciplinary Sanctions, Identities Withheld
A total of 17 employees of the Cibinong Class IIA Prison have been handed disciplinary sanctions by the Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Services (Kemenimipas). The imposition of these sanctions follows an investigation into the alleged abuse of authority concerning the construction of a luxury house within the Cibinong Prison grounds.
Inspector General of Kemenimipas, Commissioner General Pol Rudi Setiawan, stated that the investigation was conducted in accordance with several regulations that provided the legal basis for the team to conduct examinations and impose disciplinary punishments on the employees.

Rudi explained that employees of the Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Services belong to the Civil Servant (PNS) group. Therefore, the imposition of disciplinary punishment refers to Government Regulation Number 94 of 2021.
The investigation team also adhered to the Decree of the Minister of Immigration and Correctional Services Number 9-01.01 of 2025 regarding the procedures for imposing disciplinary punishment on Civil Servants within the Kemenimipas environment.
“These three regulations are what we have followed during our work, which lasted for approximately one week and a few days,” said Rudi.
During the investigation process, the team conducted document reviews, on-site inspections, and requested statements from parties related to the incident.
Rudi noted that the investigation was carried out by a joint team involving the Directorate General of Corrections, the Inspectorate General, and the regional offices of Immigration and Corrections. They went directly to the field to conduct a thorough inspection.
