KPK Summons Taspen President Director Rony Hanityo Aprianto Regarding The Development Of Fictitious Investment Cases

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined two witnesses related to the development of the alleged fictitious investment corruption of PT Taspen (Persero) today, September 17. One of them is Rony Hanityo Aprianto who is the President Director of PT Taspen.

"The investigation was carried out at the KPK's Red and White building," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters, Wednesday, September 17.

Apart from Rony, investigators also summoned Elmamber Sinaga, who is now the Finance Director of PT Taspen.

Budi has not detailed the summons of the two, but their information is needed to investigate allegations of corruption that are being carried out.

"KPK has scheduled an examination of witnesses suspected of corruption in PT Taspen (Persero) investment activities for corporate suspects," he said.

Previously, the KPK developed allegations of corruption in PT Taspen's fictitious investment and as a result, PT Insight Investment Management was named a corporate suspect through a new investigation.

It has not been detailed about the role of PT IIM. However, this company together with Taspen are suspected of causing the state to lose up to Rp1 trillion due to fictitious investment.

This case began after the anti-corruption commission appointed the former Director of PT Taspen (Persero), Antonius N.S. Kosasih and former President Director of PT Insight Investment Management, Ekiawan Heri Primayanto regarding the alleged corruption of fictitious investments at the state-owned company.

At that time, 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.
