Kupastuntas.co, Bandar Lampung - The Lampung High Prosecutor's Office searched the houses of three suspects in the alleged corruption charge for garbage at the Bandar Lampung Environment Service (DLH) in 2019-2021.

The house that was ransacked belonged to the former head of the Bandar Lampung Environmental Service Sahriwansah on Jalan Mangkubumi No. 99 Sub-districts of All Miders, Langkapura, Bandar Lampung, and Harris Fadillah and Hayati's house.

The Lampung Attorney Team together with the suspect Sahriwansah arrived at Sahriwansah's house around 14.30 WIB driving a Toyota Innova car. Upon arrival, the suspect, Sahriwansah, did not comment at all regarding the search.

"We'll tell you later, we want to go inside first," said the Assistant for Special Crimes at the Lampung Attorney General's Office, Hutamrin, when he arrived at Sahriwansah's house. After searching for about 40 minutes, at 15.10 WIB the Lampung Attorney General's team left Sahriwansah's house carrying a black suitcase containing the Bandar Lampung DLH documents.

Hutamrin said that searches were carried out at three locations related to the corruption case involving DLH Bandar Lampung garbage fees for the 2019-2021 Fiscal Year.

"The search was carried out at the houses of the three suspects, namely Sahriwansah, Harris Fadillah (Head of Environmental Management Division of Bandar Lampung DLH), and Hayati (assistant treasurer of Bandar Lampung DLH recipient)," he said.

He revealed that his party had confiscated several documents related to the corruption crime from the suspect Sahriwansah's house.

"There were several documents confiscated related to the case," he said. Asked whether the three suspects were immediately detained, Hutamrin said that his party had only conducted a search first. "Later, this is still a search first," he said.

Previously it was reported that Sahriwansah (SA) together with the Head of Environmental Administration HF and the assistant treasurer of the recipient of HY, were named as suspects in the alleged garbage retribution corruption case.

Aspidsus of the Lampung High Prosecutor's Office, Hutamrin said, the determination of the three suspects was carried out after investigators found two sufficient pieces of evidence. Based on the exposure and investigation it was concluded that there was a criminal act of corruption in the case.

Hutamrin said that after the three suspects were identified, his party immediately issued a special investigation warrant. "Furthermore, we will carry out the investigation process as a suspect," he said.

Hutamrin explained, the modus operandi of the three suspects was by marking up and not depositing waste retribution money and there were indications of fake garbage retribution tickets.

"The results of the independent auditors have found state losses of IDR 6,925,815,000. There are several parties who have returned state losses of IDR 586,750,000 so that the remaining state losses are IDR 6,339,065,000," he explained.

"The three suspects have not been detained because they have not been examined as suspects," he said. Asked if there were other suspects, Hutamrin explained that this was still under investigation.

"We will see first the results of the investigation development process, whether the suspect also involves other people and can be accounted for," he said.

For your information, the Attorney General's Office in Lampung has officially raised the status of handling the alleged corruption case at the Bandar Lampung DLH garbage fee for the 2019-2021 fiscal year to the investigation stage in August 2022.

The Head of the Legal Information Section of the Lampung High Prosecutor's Office, I Made Agus Putra, said this was based on the Investigation Order of the Head of the Lampung High Prosecutor's Office Number: Print-03/L.8/Fd.1/08/2022 dated 25 August 2022.

"Investigators at the Attorney General's Office in Lampung have found an incident suspected of being a criminal act of corruption, so investigative activities need to be increased to investigations to find and collect evidence to shed light on the corruption crime and find the suspect," he said, Monday (29/8/2022).

Based on the results of an investigation by the Lampung Prosecutor's Office, it was found that the Bandar Lampung DLH did not have master data on the mandatory retribution in accordance with the stipulation from the head of the service, so that the potential for real (real) income from the collection of waste service fees in Bandar Lampung was not known.

Then, it was found that there was a difference between the number of tickets printed and the number of tickets issued and the tickets handed over to the retribution collector. And it was found that there was a fact that the results of retribution payments collected by retribution collectors both from DLH and collectors from UPT waste services in the sub-district were not deposited into the regional treasury within 1 x 24 hours and there were levy collectors who did not have an official letter of assignment.

The target for collecting garbage fees in 2019 at DLH Bandar Lampung was Rp. 12,050,000,000, but only Rp. 6,979,724,400 was realized.

In 2020 the target of IDR 15,000,000,000 was only realized IDR 7,193,333,000, and in 2021 the target of IDR 30,000,000,000 was only realized IDR 8.2 00,000,000. (*)
