Meanwhile, the case file for the corruption suspect Supriyadi will continue.

“The case with the initials suspected as S, this case will continue,” he said.

The two corruption case files against Nurhayati and Supriyadi had previously been declared complete or P-21.

The case is in the spotlight because Nurhayati is a witness to the alleged corruption of the APBDes in Citemu Village, Mundu District, Cirebon Regency for the 2018-2020 Fiscal Year with the suspect Supriyadi. However, the Cirebon Police instead named Nurhayati a suspect.

Through the video, Nurhayati admitted that she was disappointed that she was made a suspect. In fact, he is a reporter and has been assisting the police in investigating the case for almost two years.

“At the end of 2021, I was named a suspect on the basis of instructions from Kajari (Head of the District Attorney) from Cirebon,” said Nurhayati.

The case has caused many objections. One of them is the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK). Deputy Chairperson of LPSK Maneger Nasution is concerned that this bad precedent will hinder efforts to eradicate corruption. According to him, as a reporter, Nurhayati should be appreciated.

“This case makes parties who know about corruption crimes will not dare to report, for fear of being accused like Nurhayati,” said Maneger in a written statement received by Kompas.com, last Monday.

He also considered that the status of a suspect assigned to a reporter for a corruption case “hurts common sense, legal justice and public justice”.
