House Commission III to Hold Hearing on Amsal Sitepu Case Tomorrow

JAKARTA - House of Representatives Commission III will hold a Public Opinion Hearing (RDPU) regarding the case of videographer Amsal Sitepu on Monday (30/3/2026) at 09.00 WIB. Amsal is the defendant in the alleged corruption case involving the production of village profile videos in Karo Regency. Habiburokhman explained that Amsal Sitepu, a videographer by profession, is accused of inflating the budget (mark-up) for village promotional video services. The Commission also reminded law enforcement authorities that the spirit of the new Criminal Code and Code of Criminal Procedure is to deliver substantive justice, not merely formalistic justice. “The priority for eradicating corruption should be maximising the recovery of state financial losses in major cases,” said Habiburokhman. He is charged under Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 on the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption.
