West Java High Prosecutor's Office Names Indramayu Deputy Regent a Suspect in Alleged Corruption Case
Bandung (ANTARA) - The West Java High Prosecutor’s Office (Kejati Jabar) has named the Deputy Regent of Indrammuayu, Syaefudin, along with two others, as suspects in an alleged corruption case involving housing and transport allowances for members of the Indramayu Regency Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) for the 2022–2025 fiscal year.
The Head of the Legal Information Section of the West Java High Prosecutor’s Office, Nur Sricahyawijaya, stated that the three suspects have been summoned for questioning by the Special Crimes investigators of the West Java High Prosecutor’s Office.
“Today, examinations were conducted for two suspects, namely IM and AF. One suspect, S (Syaefudin), did not attend the examination due to illness and has submitted a medical certificate to the investigative team,” said Cahya in Bandung on Friday.
Cahya mentioned that, in addition to Syaefudin, the other two suspects are AF, serving as the Secretary of the Indramayu Regency DPRD, and IM, who served as the Acting Secretary of the DPRD during the 2021–2022 period.
According to Cahya, based on the state financial loss calculations from the Audit Board of Indonesia (BPK), the case has caused state losses of approximately Rp18 billion.
“Regarding this alleged corruption, according to the BPK’s calculation of state losses, the value reaches approximately Rp18 billion. The individual in question was the Chairman of the Indramayu Regency DPRD at that time and is currently the Deputy Regent of Indramayu,” he said.
The West Java High Prosecutor’s Office has not yet disclosed the specific modus operandi or the legal construction of the case involving the three suspects, as the investigation is still ongoing.
Investigators are still awaiting the examination of Syaefudin, who was absent from the initial interrogation.
“Regarding the modus operandi or the chronology of the case, we will provide updates later as one suspect has not yet been examined,” said Cahya.
He added that, so far, investigators have not taken any detention measures against the three suspects. The decision regarding detention will be determined based on the results of further examinations by the investigative team.
“At this moment, we have not carried out any coercive measures (detention) against the three suspects. Because we have only just received notification that the individual did not attend due to illness, the examination will be rescheduled,” said Cahya.
