Haven't Named A Suspect, KPK Pretexts For CSR BI Corruption Is More Complex Than BRI EDC Procurement

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the corruption case of social responsibility funds or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI) was more complex. This condition makes the determination of the suspect has not been carried out even though the parties suspected of being responsible are already known.

This was conveyed by the KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo when asked about no significant developments in the case. This condition is different from the handling of alleged corruption in the procurement of EDC machines for Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) or BBRI.

"So far there has been no intervention (in the CSR BI corruption case, ed) but indeed each case has different complexities," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, quoted on Friday, July 11.

For information, the general investigation warrant (sprindik) for the alleged corruption of BI CSR funds was signed in the third week of December 2024. No suspects have been named.

Meanwhile, for the BRI EDC procurement case, a public sprindik was published on June 16. Then, the KPK named the suspect on July 8 or three weeks later and the official announcement was made on Wednesday, July 9.

A total of five suspects were charged, namely Catur Budi Harto who is the former Deputy Director of Bank BRI; Indra Utoyo who is the former Director of Digital Information Technology (ICT) and BRI Operations; and Dedi Sunardi who is the SEVP Management of BRI Activators and Procurement.

Meanwhile, the private parties appointed were Elvizar, who is the former Director of PT Pacific Cipta Solusi and Rudi Suprayudi from PT Bringin Inti Teknologi. The five suspects are suspected of causing state finances amounting to Rp744,540,374,314 from the project value of Rp2.1 trillion.

Returning to Budi, he confirmed that the alleged corruption of BI CSR funds would continue to be investigated by investigators. "Later, if there are parties who have been named as suspects, as is related to the construction of the case, we will tell you later," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK is investigating allegations of corruption in the Social Responsibility Fund (CSR) of Bank Indonesia (BI). There are no suspects in the regulation because the investigation uses a general investigation warrant (sprindik).

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.
