KPK investigates assets of former Hulu Sungai Utara prosecutor registered under other people's names

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating assets belonging to former Head of the Hulu Sungai Utara District Prosecutor’s Office, Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu (APN), which are registered under other people’s names.

KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that the probe was conducted by the anti-corruption agency during the examination of five witnesses in the alleged extortion case involving three prosecutors at the Hulu Sungai Utara District Prosecutor’s Office in South Kalimantan on Wednesday (1/4).

“All witnesses attended. The investigators are tracing assets owned by suspect APN that are registered under the names of those witnesses, including land, buildings, and vehicles,” Budi told journalists in Jakarta on Thursday.

The five witnesses are private individuals named Rusdin Tjeho, Rovario Galleh Suharto, I Gede Delta Malianus, Mukli Tauhid, and Sudirman.

Previously, KPK conducted a sting operation (OTT) in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, South Kalimantan, on 18 December 2025.

On 19 December 2025, KPK announced the arrest of six people in the operation, including Hulu Sungai Utara District Prosecutor Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu and Head of Intelligence Section at the Hulu Sungai Utara District Prosecutor’s Office, Asis Budianto.

On the same date, KPK announced the seizure of hundreds of millions of rupiah in the case allegedly related to extortion.

Then, on 20 December 2025, KPK named Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu (APN), Asis Budianto (ASB), and Tri Taruna Fariadi (TAR), Head of Civil and Administrative Section at the Hulu Sungai Utara District Prosecutor’s Office, as suspects in the alleged extortion case in law enforcement processes at the Hulu Sungai Utara District Prosecutor’s Office for the 2025-2026 fiscal year.

However, on that date, only Albertinus Napitupulu and Asis Budianto were detained by KPK because Tri Taruna was still at large.

Two days later, on 22 December 2025, the Attorney General’s Office handed over Tri Taruna to KPK. The anti-corruption agency then detained him for the first 20 days.

On 24 December 2025, KPK announced the seizure of one four-wheeled vehicle belonging to the Tolitoli Regency Government after searching three houses of Albertinus Napitupulu.
