KPK Denies Determination Of Suspects Alleged Corruption Of BI CSR Funds Intervened

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Setyo Budiyanto confirmed that the alleged corruption of the Social Responsibility (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI) funds would be resolved. He denied that there were parties who tried to intervene in determining the suspect in this case.

It is known that no party has been named a suspect in the CSR BI corruption case. Investigation by investigators is based on a general investigation warrant (sprindik).

"There is no (intervention, ed)," said Setyo to reporters in the Grand Indonesia area, Central Jakarta, Friday, May 9.

Setyo actually said investigators would follow up on their findings. However, he did not explain what he meant.

"Later, we'll see, later. Maybe the next stage will be followed up by investigators soon," he said.

A VOI source said investigators were looking for other parties who participated in enjoying the CSR BI fund corruption money. This step was taken while looking for parties that were deemed to be trying to hinder the investigation.

"Investigators are investigating the roles of members of the Indonesian House of Representatives Commission XI for the 2019-2024 period and to what extent is its involvement in the object of the case being handled, including exploring if there are parties who will obstruct investigations," said a VOI source, Thursday, May 8.

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.

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.
