Waiting For The Police's Step On The Investigation Of Alleged Corruption In Asabri

JAKARTA - The National Police have not taken any steps regarding the investigation into the alleged corruption crime at PT Asabri. The reason is that the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) has not yet determined which agency will handle the case.

Karo Penmas DivHumas Polri Brig. Gen. Argo Yuwono said the case had not yet been submitted to the Police. This is because BPK is still conducting audits on suspected indications of corruption in this state-owned company.

"Yes, later on, of course, the BPK will submit it to APH, Law Enforcement Officials. It can go to the Attorney General's Office, it could be to the Police, or to the KPK. We will wait for it from BPK," said Argo in Jakarta, Thursday, January 23.

He did not want to speculate about the handling of the case. However, if there is a report, the National Police is ready to follow up on the alleged corruption. In fact, if this case is handled by the National Police, the Bhayangkara corps will form a special team led by Kabareskrim, Komjen Listyo Sigit.

"We are still verifying. There is a team, Kabareskrim will handle it, for example given to the police," said Argo.

The emergence of allegations of corruption in an insurance company was disclosed by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD. He said, PT Asabri indicated that there was a criminal act of corruption worth Rp10 trillion.

President Director of PT Asabri, Sonny Widjaja denied this information. He asked customers who are members of the TNI not to worry about this issue.
