KPK Summons Cirebon Power Corporate Affairs Regarding Bribery Case

JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators summoned four witnesses in a bribery case related to permits and property in Cirebon Regency. One of the witnesses summoned was the Corporate Affairs Director of PT Cirebon Power Teguh Haryono.

This examination was carried out to complete the case file of Herry Jung (HJ) as the General Manager of Hyundai Engineering and Construction who was a suspect.

"Examined as a witness for the suspect HJ", said Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri in his written statement, Wednesday, February 17.

Apart from Teguh, investigators also summoned another party for the same suspect. They are the official at the Hyundai Engineering and Construction Head Office Paik Sanghyun; employees of the Jakarta Branch Office of Hyundai Engineering and Construction Agustinus; and a translator named Miranda Florence.

In this case, the KPK suspects that the suspect Herry Jung gave bribes worth IDR 6.04 billion to the 2014-2019 Cirebon Regent related to the permit of PT Cirebon Energi Prasarana PLTU 2 in Cirebon Regency from the initial promise of IDR 10 billion.

The money was given by making a fictitious Work Order (SPK) with PT. MIM (Milades Indah Mandiri) so that it seems as if there is a PLTU 2 job consulting service with a contract of IDR 10 billion.

This case is the development of a case on the bribery case that ensnared the former Cirebon Regent, Sunjaya, which started from a hand-catch operation (OTT) in October 2018.

In the OTT, the KPK secured evidence of IDR 116 million in cash and proof of deposits to an account totaling IDR 6.4 billion and named two suspects, namely Sunjaya and Gatot Rachmanto, Secretary of the Cirebon Regency Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) Service.
