Kendari Prosecutors Question 25 Witnesses in Rp5.2 Billion PT Pos Corruption Case
The Kendari District Prosecutor's Office (Kejari) has questioned 25 witnesses in connection with an alleged corruption case worth Rp5.2 billion at PT Pos Indonesia's Kendari Main Branch in Southeast Sulawesi Province.
Head of the Special Crimes Division at Kejari Kendari, Marwan Arifin, said on Saturday that the witness examinations were conducted in relation to corruption allegedly committed by former Finance Manager of PT Pos Indonesia Kendari Main Branch, Ariayani Arfa (37).
He stated that the witnesses examined came from various internal elements of PT Pos Indonesia's Kendari Branch, including Ariayani's colleagues, her subordinates in the finance department, and her superiors at the time.
"Of the 25 people we have examined, some are from within PT Pos Kendari. We want to gain a deeper understanding of the involvement of other parties in the actions carried out by the suspect Aryani Arfa," said Marwan Arifin.
He added that to advance the investigation further, Kejari Kendari would travel to PT Pos Indonesia's Makassar Branch in South Sulawesi Province to collect important documents and personal belongings of the suspect Ariayani Arfa that had previously been seized.
"Our plan is to go to Makassar to collect important documents, as well as some of the suspect's belongings that have been secured," he said.
Previously, Kejari Kendari had named one person as a suspect in the alleged corruption case at PT Pos Indonesia's Kendari Main Branch. Head of Kejari Kendari, Ronal H. Bakara, confirmed that the suspect was former Finance Manager Ariayani Arfa.
In the case, irregularities were found in the form of falsified financial reports in the daily cash book (BKH) and the System Application and Products (SAP) system, which were prepared and filled in by the suspect from 2020 to 2024.
"As a result, there was a cash discrepancy at PT Pos Indonesia's Kendari Main Branch that could not be covered," said Ronal.
He stated that the suspect had also falsified cash and cash equivalent reports and financial records, having taken cash funds from third-party disbursement funds. The proceeds of the corruption were taken by the suspect and used for personal purposes.
Ronal revealed that the suspect's actions resulted in state losses at PT Pos Indonesia's Kendari Main Branch amounting to Rp5.2 billion from 2021 to 2024.
