T
he Attorney General's Office (AGO) has completed the case dossier on one of the graft suspects allegedly involved in the procurement of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units for schools that were included in the 2014 Jakarta city budget.
Head of the anticorruption subdirectorate I under the National Police's detective division, Sr. Comr. Adi Deriyan Jayamarta, confirmed that the AGO had declared the dossier on former head of the infrastructure unit of the West Jakarta Education Agency, Alex Usman, was complete and would soon go to court.
'We have received information from the investigators that the dossier for AU [Alex] has been declared complete. Our investigators will coordinate as soon as possible to hand over [the dossier] to our friends at the AGO,' he said on Wednesday at the National Police headquarters in South Jakarta.
Ade explained that the dossier on a second suspect, former head of the Central Jakarta Education Agency Zaenal Soleman, was still being evaluated by the AGO's prosecutors.
The UPS graft case, which had been transferred from the Jakarta Police to the National Police, emerged after Jakarta Governor Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama reported alleged irregularities in the city budget to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). The case, which National Police investigators say caused around Rp 50 billion (US$3.5 million) in state losses, has implicated a number of civil servants and city councilors.
