KPK Summons Erwin Haryono Regarding Allegations Of CSR BI Fund Corruption

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned former Head of the Communications Department of Bank Indonesia (BI) Erwin Haryono today, Monday, June 2. He was investigated for alleged corruption in the social responsibility fund or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI).

"The KPK has scheduled an examination of witnesses for alleged corruption related to the distribution of CSR funds from Bank Indonesia," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters, Monday, June 2.

Budi has not detailed the examination material for Erwin. However, the summons is usually carried out because the party is suspected of knowing the presumptuous practices that are being handled.

"The examination was carried out at the Merah Putih building," he said.

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 are no suspects in the regulation. 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.

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the KPK, Setyo Budiyanto, confirmed that the CSR BI fund corruption case would enter a new chapter. The follow-up to the investigation based on a general investigation warrant (sprindik) will be carried out by investigators.

"Later, we'll see, later. Maybe the next stage will be followed up by investigators soon," Setyo told reporters in the Grand Indonesia Mall area, Central Jakarta, Friday, May 9.

Setyo confirmed that this case would be thoroughly investigated. He also denied any intervention to determine the suspect.

"(This case, red) we finished. There is no (intervention, red)," he said.
