KPK Examines Head Of BI Communication Department In CSR Fund Corruption Case
JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled the examination of two witnesses related to allegations of corruption in the social responsibility fund (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI) and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) today, Monday, December 23. One of them is Erwin Haryono as Head of the Communications Department of Bank Indonesia.
"The examination was carried out at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters, Monday, December 23.
Apart from Erwin, investigators also summoned Hery Indratno as the Head of the PSBI-Division Communication Division of Bank Indonesia. Tessa has not yet detailed the matter of the summons as well as the presence or absence of the two witnesses.
Previously reported, the KPK is currently investigating allegations of corruption in social responsibility funds or corporate social responsibility (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI) to the Financial Services Authority (OJK). No suspects have been named for using a general investigation warrant (sprindik).
A VOI source said the public sprindik was published in the third week of December. No suspects have been written on it but there are two or even more people who have the potential to be charged after the search was carried out on Monday night, December 16.

Meanwhile, the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK, Rudi Setiawan, said that the alleged corruption arose because the money that should have been enjoyed by the community actually flowed to the foundation. Thus, the state loses because the budget spent is quite large.
"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 Red and White 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.
