The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to investigate the abuse of authority of the directors of PT Taspen (Persero) and PT Insight Investments Management of fictitious investment corruption events. The investigation was carried out by examining three witnesses on Monday, March 10.
"Investigators are investigating Taspen investment activities that deviate and abuse the authority of Taspen and PT IIM directors," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, March 12.
The three witnesses summoned by investigators at that time were Rita Meirina as a legal consultant, Camar Remoa who is an employee of PT Insight Investments Management, and Hernatasa as an employee of PT Taspen.
"The examination was carried out at the KPK's Red and White building," said Tessa.
Previously reported, the KPK has detained former Director of PT Taspen (Persero) Antonius NS Kosasih and former President Director of PT Insight Investment Management Ekiawan Heri Primayanto regarding the alleged corruption of fictitious investments in the state-owned company. Their actions allegedly cost the state up to Rp200 billion.
This case began when PT Taspen (Persero) placed an investment of IDR 1 trillion in the RD I-Next G2 mutual fund managed by PT Insight Investment Management. The private company then spread it to a number of investments but not according to the rules.
In detail, Rp78 billion is managed by PT Insight Investment Management. Then, as much as Rp2.2 billion is managed by PT VSI; Rp102 million is managed by PT PS; Rp44 million goes to PT SM; and other parties affiliated with Kosasih and Ekiawan.
