KPK Suspects BI-OJK CSR Funds Flow To Inaccurate Foundations

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that the funds for the social responsibility (CSR) of Bank Indonesia to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) flow to the foundation are unclear.

This was conveyed by the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Rudi Setiawan, when explaining the mode of corruption in CSR funds at Bank Indonesia-OJK which is being handled. He said there was a budget that turned out not to be used according to its objectives.

"So BI has CSR funds and then a few percent of it is given to those who are not proper, more or less," Rudi told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, December 17.

"(It flows to, red) the foundations that we suspect are not appropriate to be given," he continued.

Even so, Rudi has not detailed the foundation. He only said that the state losses caused by this fraudulent practice were quite large.

Because, the CSR funds owned by Bank Indonesia are quite large. "Later ask BI (how much is the budget, red)," said Rudi.

In the future, the KPK ensures that the alleged BI-OJK CSR corruption will be thoroughly investigated.

"This is how the decision is, who makes the decision, how is the CSR planning, who accepts it, well, that's what we are investigating now," explained Rudi.

Previously reported, the KPK some time ago conducted an investigation regarding the alleged corruption of CSR funds at Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) which allegedly occurred in 2023. It is suspected that the money was channeled inappropriately.

KPK Director of Investigation Asep Guntur said that CSR funds should not be properly distributed. However, this case is the opposite.

"This means that there are several, for example, CSR is 100, only 50 are used. The 50 (others, red) are not used. The problem is the 50 of which are not used. Used for personal gain, for example, now that is a problem," he told reporters at a press conference, Wednesday, September 18.
