“The examination took place at the Palu City Police Resort in Central Sulawesi, of TW, a staff member of the Tolitoli District Prosecutor’s Office,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta on Thursday.
In addition, Budi stated that the KPK summoned four other witnesses, including FBY, an unemployed individual, JMB, the Head of Mulyasari Village, KDG, a farmer, and MER, a student.
Previously, the KPK conducted a sting operation (OTT) in Hulu Sungai Utara Regency, South Kalimantan, on 18 December 2025.
On 19 December 2025, the KPK announced the arrest of six people in the sting operation, including the Head of the Hulu Sungai Utara District Prosecutor’s Office, Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu, and the Head of the Intelligence Section of the Hulu Sungai Utara District Prosecutor’s Office, Asis Budianto.
On the same date, the KPK announced the seizure of hundreds of millions of rupiah in cash in the case allegedly related to extortion.
Then, on 20 December 2025, the KPK named Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu (APN), Asis Budianto (ASB), and Tri Taruna Fariadi (TAR), Head of the Civil and Administrative Affairs Section of the Hulu Sungai Utara District Prosecutor’s Office, as suspects in the alleged extortion case in the law enforcement process 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 the KPK because Tri Taruna was still at large.
On 22 December 2025, the Attorney General’s Office handed over Tri Taruna to the KPK. The anti-corruption agency then detained him for the first 20 days.
On 24 December 2025, the KPK announced the seizure of one four-wheeled vehicle belonging to the Tolitoli Regency Government after searching three houses of Albertinus Napitupulu.
