The Attorney General's Office Confiscates Again US$619 Thousand From Achsanul Qosasi Regarding The 4G Kominfo BTS Project

The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has again confiscated money from the suspect Achsanul Qosasi related to the alleged corruption case and the money laundering crime (TPPU) for the 4G Kominfo BTS project. The nominal is 619,000 US dollars (US) or equivalent to Rp1,069,589,700.

"Successfully trying to resubmit a sum of USD 619,000 from the suspect AQ, so that the total transfer of the money is USD 2,640,000 or equivalent to Rp40 billion," said the Head of the AGO, Ketut Sumedana in a statement, Tuesday, November 21.

The money is suspected to be part of what Achsanul Qosasi and Sadikin Rusli received from Irwan Hermawan through intermediary Windi Purnama.

Although currently all the money received by Achsanul Qosasi has been returned, Sumedana confirmed that the investigation into the BTS 4G Kominfo project TPPU case will still be investigated thoroughly.

"The handover of the money did not stop the handling of the case currently being carried out by the Attorney General's Office," said Sumedana.

Previously, investigators also confiscated 2.021 million US dollars or Rp31.4 billion from the suspects Achsanul Qosasi and Sadikin Rusli.

The confiscation was carried out after the money was handed over by each suspect to investigators.

From the results of the deepening, the allocation of money is not a matter of securing the 4G BTS corruption case. Instead, highlighting the results of the project audit that had stalled.

"We ensure that the receipt of money by AQ is an effort to condition the results of the BPK audit which at that time was conducting an audit related to the BTS 4G project construction project," said the Director of Investigation at the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes, Kuntadi.
