JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that there was money to the Democratic Party from former Penajam Paser Utara Regent Abdul Gafur Mas'ud. This flow comes from Rp6 billion in cash related to corruption in capital participation which is also used for personal purposes.

"To rent private jets, rent helicopters, and support the needs of the East Kalimantan Provincial Democratic Party Musda," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, June 7.

It did not specify how much money was flowing to the event. However, the KPK has asked for witness testimony and obtained evidence related to the allegation.

Apart from Gafur, three other suspects in this case also used illicit funds for personal needs. In detail, the President Director of Perumda Benuo Taka Energi Baharun Genda received Rp500 million to buy a car.

Meanwhile, President Director of Perumba Benuo Taka Heriyanto received Rp3 billion to become project capital. Finally, Head of Perumba Finance Section Benuo Taka Karim Abidin received Rp1 billion for trading forex.

"So far, the investigative team has received a refund from parties related to this case amounting to around Rp659 million through the KPK holding account," said Alex.
