KPK Threatened To Be Reported To DPR If Not Returning Assets Of Witnesses In Hasbi Hasan Case

JAKARTA - Witness in the bribery corruption case handling cases and money laundering (TPPU) former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Hasbi Hasan, Linda Susanti, asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to immediately return his assets. He is ready to complain to the DPR if this process is not carried out immediately.

"In the next month or at least two weeks there is no response either, we will report this to the DPR," said Linda's attorney, Deolipa Yumara, when she came to the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, October 10.

Deolipa explained that the assets confiscated by the KPK had nothing to do with the Hasbi Hasan case. It has also written three official letters.

"So we hope that the KPK will pay attention to this considering the personal interests and Mrs. Linda and her family. Where the assets belong to them and will be used for the benefit of the family," he said.

"And if there is no response either, we may suspect that there is embezzlement here against this mother's assets, right. So we can report it to the police, to the National Police Headquarters if there is an alleged embezzlement," continued Deolipa.

Linda also agrees that her assets confiscated by the KPK come from her parents as a legacy.

"The official asset inherited from my parents from Australia and I personally have provided official documentary evidence to investigators," he said.

He hopes that the KPK can follow up on the return of the assets. The confiscated assets reached Rp600 billion consisting of 45 million Singapore dollars, gold bullion to a number of certificates and land as well as important documents.

Meanwhile, KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo has spoken about Linda's request some time ago. He admitted that he would ask investigators about the incoming letter.

"Of course later investigators will identify whether there is a confiscation or not," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, October 7.

"If it is true (there is confiscation, red), are the confiscated assets still used in the process of proving this case," he continued.

Budi also said that the corruption case that ensnared Hasbi was still ongoing. In fact, the KPK has only detained one suspect, namely the Director of PT Wahana Adyawarna, Menas Erwin Djohansyah on Thursday, September 25.

Menas is suspected of dealing with a civil case belonging to his friend. The details are:

1. Land dispute cases in Bali and East Jakarta; 2. Depok land dispute case;3. Land dispute case in Sumedang;4. Land dispute case in Menteng;5. Mining land dispute case in Samarinda.

"On the other hand, in that case, the KPK also developed by imposing the money laundering article on parties suspected of being involved in hiding or transferring the proceeds from this corruption field," said Budi.

"This means that the criminal act of corruption and the money laundering offense is still ongoing. Even then, if there are assets confiscated related to what was conveyed by the applicant or the letter giver to the KPK, we will check it later".
