| KPK charged former HSU Prosecutor’s Office chief Albertinus Napitupulu with multiple corruption offenses during his first court hearing in Banjarmasin. |
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Tuesday charged former Hulu Sungai Utara (HSU) District Prosecutor’s Office chief Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu with multiple corruption-related offenses during his first court hearing at the Banjarmasin District Court.
Two former HSU Prosecutor’s Office officials, ex-Intelligence Section head Asis Budianto and former Civil and State Administration Section head Tri Taruna Fariadi, were also indicted in the case stemming from a KPK sting operation conducted in December 2025.
KPK prosecutor Muhammad Hadi said Albertinus was charged under three separate articles of Indonesia’s anti-corruption law.
The first indictment relates to Article 12(e) in conjunction with Article 18 of Law No. 31/1999 on Corruption Eradication, as amended by Law No. 20/2001, in conjunction with Article 127 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
The second charge was filed under Article 12(f) in conjunction with Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law and Article 127 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
The third indictment concerns Article 12(B) in conjunction with Article 18 of the Anti-Corruption Law and Article 127 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code.
“Defendant Albertinus Parlinggoman Napitupulu has been charged cumulatively,” KPK prosecutor Muhammad Hadi told the court.
Asis Budianto and Tri Taruna Fariadi were also charged cumulatively. Both were indicted under Article 12(e) and Article 12(B) of the Anti-Corruption Law.
During the hearing, only Tri Taruna filed an objection, or legal exception, against the prosecutors’ indictment. Albertinus and Asis did not submit any objections.
KPK prosecutors also disclosed the alleged amount of gratification and extortion included in the indictment.
In the first charge involving alleged abuse of office and extortion tied to all three defendants, the amount cited reached Rp894 million.
The second charge, which only targeted Albertinus and involved alleged direct extortion, stated that he allegedly received Rp257.5 million.
Meanwhile, the third charge involving alleged gratification amounted to Rp822.8 million.
KPK prosecutors said dozens of witnesses have been prepared to testify during the trial proceedings.
Chief Judge Aries Dedi adjourned the hearing after the indictment was read and scheduled the next session for May 21, 2026.
The case originated from a KPK sting operation on Dec. 18, 2025, involving allegations of extortion against several officials and parties within the Hulu Sungai Utara regional administration.
