Sinarmas Insurance Commissioner Absent From KPK Calls Regarding Alleged Fictitious Investment Corruption

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said Indra Widjaja, who is the President Commissioner of PT Asuransi Sinarmas, was absent from the summons. He should have been examined as a witness to alleged fictitious investment corruption at PT Taspen (Persero) on Tuesday, April 15.

"(Witnesses, ed) were not present," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika to reporters in a written statement, Thursday, April 17.

Tessa mengatakan tidak ada konfirmasi yang diberikan Indra kepada penyidik.

As for Indra, investigators have been summoned twice in this case. First, he was asked to attend the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta on Wednesday, February 12.

However, he was not present at that time because he was in Singapore. There, Indra underwent treatment.

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.

In this case, the investigative team has also searched two apartment units in Rasuna Said, South Jakarta on January 8 and 9. From these forced attempts, the anti-corruption commission confiscated Rp300 million in foreign currency US dollars, Singapore dollars, pounds, won, and baht.

Not only that, investigators also confiscated a number of luxury bags, documents or letters related to ownership of assets and electronic evidence allegedly related to the case being investigated.
