State Losses In Corruption Cases In Procurement Of Basarnas Trucks Investigated By KPK Reaches Tens Of Billions

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) opened an investigation into alleged corruption in the procurement of trucks at the National SAR Agency (Basarnas) in 2014. The actions of the suspects in this case are suspected of causing state losses.

"The state loss is in the range of tens of billions," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, August 10.

Ali has not been able to specify who the suspects are in this case. However, he confirmed that they are non-TNI civilians such as the Head of Basarnas Marshal Henri Alfiandi and Koorsmin Kabasarnas Lt. Col. Afri Budi Cahyanto.

In addition, the KPK has also moved to prevent three people from leaving the country in this case. Although Ali did not specify, the three people are former Sestama Basarnas Max Rudand Boseke; PPK Basarnas Anjar Sulistiyono; and Director of CV Delima Mandiri, William Widarta.

"This prevention is implemented for the first until around December 2023 and an extension can be carried out according to the investigation process," said Ali.

"Cooperative attitude is of course expected from the party in question so that the case filing process can be completed immediately," he concluded.
