The detention of Basuki Wibowo is based on the Warrant for the Arrest of the Head of the Tanggamus District Prosecutor's Office Number: PRINT-02/L. 8. 19/Fd.2/07/2023 July 20 2023, where Basuki Wibowo will be detained for the next 20 days starting from July 20 2023 to August 8 2023.

"Starting today, we have detained the suspect Basuki Wibowo. The suspect will be detained for the next 20 days," said Kejari Tanggamus, Yunardi during a press conference at the local Attorney's Office building, Thursday 20 July 2023 afternoon.

Apart from Basuki Wibowo, the Tanggamus Prosecutor's Office also detained the former head of Pekon Tanjung Agung, Pugung District, Tanggamus Regency, Subhan, for alleged corruption in the implementation and use of the Revenue and Expenditure Budget for Pekon Tanjung Agung Village, Pugung District, Tanggamus Regency for the 2019 fiscal year.

Subhan was named a suspect based on the letter from the Tanggamus District Attorney Number: 1389 / L/8 / Fd. 2:/12/2020, but during the first and second summons it turned out that the suspect Subhan was absent and uncooperative.

So a forced attempt was made in the form of a third summons accompanied by a forced pick-up by the Tanggamus District Attorney's investigation team on December 15 2020, but the suspect was no longer at his house.

So that the suspect was named on the wanted list (DPO) based on the DPO determination letter Number: B-1432/L. 8. 19/Fd.02/12/2020 dated 16 December 2020.

"With the threat of imprisonment for 20 years," he said.

Therefore, the prosecutor's office issued a letter of determination of the Wanted List Number: B-20/L.8.19.8/Fd.2/05/2023 dated May 3, 2023 because the suspect Lamuzi has been running away since March 2022, and the suspect is an ASN in Bulok District.

"Then today we detained the suspect Lamuzi who surrendered and was immediately secured by the Tanggamus Prosecutor's Office investigation team.
