Prosecutors from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) have demanded 5.5 years’ imprisonment for former North Sumatra Public Works and Spatial Planning Department head Topan Obaja Putra Ginting, and four years for Rasuli Efendi Siregar, former head of Gunung Tua UPTD of the PUPR, in a road project corruption case in North Sumatra in 2025. The proceedings took place on Thursday (5 March) at the Medan District Court.
