Spokesperson Reveals Counterfeiting Confiscation Documents After KPK Investigators Reportedly Embezzled Rp600 Billion Assets

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that there are parties who falsified the confiscation report document in the bribery case that ensnared former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Hasbi Hasan.

This was revealed by KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo when asked for a response regarding his investigators who were reported to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police for allegedly embezzling confiscated goods in the form of assets worth Rp600 billion in the case.

This report was made by Linda Susanti who once questioned the confiscation of her assets to the KPK some time ago. He admitted that the assets were in the form of gold, money with Singapore dollar denominations to land certificates and important documents.

"We need to explain that in this HH case, the KPK confiscated a number of documents which then from the confiscation report, it is suspected that some were later faked by certain elements," Budi told reporters quoted on Saturday, November 29.

"So the confiscation of the document was then deleted, yes, it was changed to confiscation of a safe deposit box document which was later claimed by LB's brother in it there were several assets," continued Budi.

Budi confirmed that his party had the original documents. So, he believes the basis for reporting is fake.

"The original confiscation report used by investigators during the confiscation and the documents we obtained were documents allegedly falsified by certain elements, that there was one line related to the confiscation of this document which was later deleted, replaced with a statement, namely by confiscation of safe deposit box documents," he explained.

The KPK ensures that it continues to monitor claims circulating in the community. Although, until now, his party has not received an official report from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police, any investigators have been reported.

"Of course this is also our concern because this is also an alleged act of document forgery, that's it," he said.

"We also appeal because the KPK also gets information that there are modes of alleged fraud committed by the parties by utilizing the falsified documents," said Budi.

As previously reported, Linda Susanti, who is a witness in the bribery case handling cases and money laundering (TPPU) of the former Secretary of the Supreme Court (MA) Hasbi Hasan, asked the KPK to return his assets. He even admitted that he was ready to complain to the DPR if his insistence was not fulfilled.

"In the next month or at least two weeks there will be 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 at the time.
