Indonesia Suspends Five Cibinong Prison Officials After Ombudsman Finds Luxury Housing
Five Cibinong prison officials are suspended as Indonesia investigates an Ombudsman report on a luxury housing complex near the prison.
Indonesia's Ministry of Immigration and Correctional Affairs has suspended five prison officials following allegations of luxury housing near Cibinong Prison. The officials – the Head of Cibinong Class IIA Correctional Facility, four other prison leaders – will face questioning by the Ministry's Inspectorate General. The suspension is part of an internal investigation into luxury housing discovered by the Indonesian Ombudsman last Wednesday.
The investigation, led by Commissioner General Rudi Setiawan, includes examining the official housing area, waste disposal sites, and other prison facilities. The Ombudsman team found a luxury housing complex approximately 300 meters from the main prison building, containing about ten residential units. The housing complex, featuring amenities like air conditioning and kitchens, was allegedly used as rest areas for staff.
The Imipas Ministry will impose sanctions in accordance with applicable regulations if violations are found.
