KPK Pursues Assets Of Suspect In CSR BI-OJK Satori Corruption Case Through 8 Witnesses

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to explore assets belonging to one of the suspects in the corruption case of Bank Indonesia's corporate social responsibility (CSR)-Financial Services Authority (OJK), Satori. Eight witnesses have been questioned by investigators today.

The eight witnesses were Sarifudin as PPATS protocol officer in Palimanan District; Suhandi and Sandi Natakusuma as the Panongan Village Government, Palimanan District; and Deni Harman and Suhanto as the Pegagan Village Government, Palimanan District.

Then Hj Muniah was also examined as a housewife; Mohamad Mu'min, Fatimatuzzahroh, Abdul Mukti, and Kiki Azkiyatul as private parties.

"Investigators asked witnesses for information regarding the ownership of ST suspect's assets," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, October 29.

Budi said investigators are now focusing on searching for assets suspected of being related to the BI-OJK CSR case. This is because Satori was also charged with the money laundering crime (TPPU).

"This is a step by investigators in order to optimize the recovery of state finances or asset recovery," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK officially announced the legislators of the DPR from the NasDem Satori Party faction and Heri Gunawan as legislators of the DPR from the Gerindra Party faction as suspects in the alleged corruption of BI-OJK CSR funds. Both are suspected of receiving gratuities and committing money laundering (TPPU).

Satori is suspected of receiving a total of IDR 12.52 billion in this case. The details are IDR 6.30 billion from BI; IDR 5.14 billion from OJK through Financial Counseling activities; and IDR 1.04 billion from other working partners of Commission XI of the DPR.

The money is allegedly used for personal needs, such as deposits, land purchases, showroom construction, purchases of two-wheeled vehicles, and purchases of other assets.

Meanwhile, Heri Gunawan received a total of Rp15.86 billion and used it also for personal gain. The details are Rp6.26 billion from BI; Rp7.64 billion from OJK through Financial Counseling activities; and Rp1.94 billion from other working partners of Commission XI DPR.

The money is then accommodated in an account. Heri Gunawan then used it to build restaurants, manage drink outlets, purchase land and buildings to purchase four-wheeled vehicles.
