Bobby Nasution Has Not Reported The Use Of Private Jets To The KPK

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution had never conveyed the use of private jets that had been busy on social media some time ago. Therefore, the KPK cannot do anything to carry out investigations in the realm of prevention.

"Mas Bobby is not in the process of reporting himself to the Directorate of Gratification because it is not doing anything," said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, November 1.

Even so, Ghufron said, the KPK was still investigating public reports that were included in the Directorate of Service Revenue and Public Complaints (PLPM).

It is known that for some time the spokesperson for the KPK, Tessa Mahardika, revealed that there have been reports that have been received regarding the use of private jets by President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) son-in-law. However, he did not specify the details.

"The process is in the assessment at the Directorate of PLPM," he said.

From this review process, the KPK will be able to follow up if a criminal act of corruption is found.

"If a clear investigation has been carried out as a criminal act of corruption and is Article 11 of the state administrator and the loss is Rp. 1 billion, then it is continued to investigate and determine who the suspect is and what the evidence is," said Ghufron.

Previously reported, a photo of President Joko Widodo's son-in-law (Jokowi) who is also the Mayor of Medan Bobby Nasution allegedly boarded a private jet uploaded by the X account, @MultadhaOne1 on Wednesday, August 28. One of them shows him walking on the apron with the background of a private plane parked behind him.

In his upload, this account states that Bobby Nasution and his family also board private jets that are suspected to belong to other parties. "Is this a gratification or not @KPK_RI?" he asked.

The netizen then said the photo was taken around February 18-20, 2023 at Polonia Airport, which has now changed its name.

As for Bobby, he has already talked about the photo of himself using a private jet. He invited all parties to check.

"All of us have taken the plane. Let's see what date it is, who has the plane," Bobby told reporters, Tuesday, September 3.

Bobby also invited all parties to check the origin of the money to board the private jet. President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) son-in-law claims not to use the state budget or corruption.

"Please check, check, whether using money from the APBD, whether there is corruption money. I can confirm, I can declare not from there," he said.
