The Corruption Eradication Commission Confirms To Name The Regional-Owned Enterprises Boss A Suspect Of Corruption In The Land Purchase With The IDR 0 Down Payment Program

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that it is currently investigating alleged corruption cases in land purchases in several locations for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's IDR 0 Down Payment Program by DKI Jakarta Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD).

A KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri said that his party was investigating this case after finding two pieces of evidence that were sufficient to establish a certain party as a suspect. The KPK appointed a BUMD boss in this case.

"It is true after two sufficient preliminary pieces of evidence were found, the KPK is currently carrying out investigations into alleged Corruption Crime (TPK) related to land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Rangon Village, Cipayung District, East Jakarta City, DKI Jakarta Province in 2019", Ali said in his written statement to the journalist, Monday, March 8.

Even though he confirmed it, the anti-graft commission was still reluctant to elaborate on this case. This is because the suspect's announcement will be made when the arrest and detention are carried out.

"Currently, the KPK investigative team is still completing its duties first", said Ali.

He said that the KPK would of course notify the public about the construction of the case, evidence, and would explain who the suspects were, along with the articles that were suspected.

"However, as a form of information disclosure, we ensure that we will convey any developments in the handling of this case to the public", said Ali.

As previously reported, the Head of Commission B for the Economy of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Abdul Aziz, confirmed the news that an initial YC as the President Director of BUMD DKI Jakarta was a suspect at the KPK.

The KPK named YC as a suspect related to corruption in the purchase of land for the construction of a DP house for IDR 0 in Pondok Ranggon and Munjul, Cipayung, East Jakarta.

The DKI BUMD implementing this program is PD Pembangunan Sarana Jaya. The President Director of PD Pembangunan Sarana is Jaya Yoory C Pintonoan. VOI also tried to ask about the truth of this news, but Yoory's cellphone number was not active. Then, VOI tried to ask for confirmation from the Assistant Secretary of the DKI for the Economy Sri Haryati via a telephone line but was unable to connect.
