Never Set A Suspect In The BI CSR Case, KPK Chairman: There Will Be A Time

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Setyo Budiyanto said that the determination of the suspect in the alleged corruption of the Social Responsibility (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI) was just a matter of time. He admitted that there were no obstacles in investigating the case.

"Yes, there will be a time (to determine the suspect, ed). There will be a time when it will be determined," Setyo told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, quoted on Thursday, April 1.

Setyo ensured that this case would be a concern for his party even though the general investigation warrant (sprindik) had been made by the previous leadership.

However, the former Director of Investigation of the KPK said that he was still waiting for further discussion with the Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK to determine the suspect.

"Of course we will continue, yes, to review what everything is and then it is time for investigators, especially the Director of Investigation and Deputy for Enforcement to conduct discussions," said Setyo.

"Yes, there is a time," continued the former Inspector General of the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan).

Previously reported, the KPK is investigating allegations of corruption in the Social Responsibility Fund (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI). The investigation uses a general investigation warrant (sprindik) signed in the third week of December 2024.

There is no name in the regulation yet. However, two people or even more have the potential to be charged after a search was carried out at the Bank Indonesia office to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) on Monday night, December 16, 2024.

In this case, the KPK has also examined a number of parties. Among them are DPR member of the NasDem Party faction Satori and Member of the DPR Gerindra Party faction Heri Gunawan.

Investigators have also searched Satori's house in the Cirebon area, West Java. From the search process, investigators found documents allegedly related to the alleged corruption of BI's CSR funds.

Investigators have also searched Heri Gunawan's house and found evidence including documents. The BI CSR funds allegedly flowed to a number of foundations and became assets enjoyed by related parties.
