KPK Seizes Documents Related to Tax Restitution Case After Searching the Banjarmasin KPP Office-PT BKB

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched the office of the Banjarmasin Sub-Tax Service Office (KPP) and PT Buana Karya Bhakti (PT BKB) on Tuesday, February 10. This forced effort is related to the alleged bribery of tax restitution that ensnared the Head of the Banjarmasin Sub-Tax Service Office, Mulyono.

"Investigators conducted a search at the Banjarmasin Deputy KPP office and the PT BKB office," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, February 11.

Budi said that from the search, investigators seized evidence in the form of documents related to the restitution for overpayment of PT BKB as well as documents for spending money from PT BKB.

"Furthermore, investigators will analyze each piece of evidence secured to deepen the evidence of alleged corruption in the state's financial sector," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK has named three people in the tax restitution bribery case at the Banjarmasin Sub-KPP after conducting a hand-in-hand operation (OTT) on Wednesday, February 4. They are Mulyono as Head of the Banjarmasin Sub-KPP; Fiskus who is a member of the Inspection Team from the Banjarmasin Sub-KPP, Dian Jaya Demega (DJD); and Financial Manager of PT Buana Karya Bhakti (BKB), Venasius Jenarus Genggor (VNZ) alias Venzo.

In this case, it is suspected that there has been an arrangement in the process of returning the Value Added Tax (VAT) of PT Buana Karya Bhakti at the KPP Madya Banjarmasin.

Initially, at the request of the tax restitution, PT Buana Karya Bhakti was examined and found to have overpaid Rp49.47 billion, with a fiscal correction of Rp1.14 billion, so that the tax restitution became Rp48.3 billion.

Mulyono asked for appreciation money from Venzo and agreed to give money worth Rp. 1.5 billion with the condition that the money would be shared so that the restitution of this palm oil company could be disbursed.

Then, Venzo met Mulyono at a restaurant to discuss the distribution of the appreciation money and agreed to the following distribution:

a. Mulyono sebesar Rp800 juta; b. Dian sebesar Rp200 juta; dan c. Venzo sebesar Rp500 juta.

Then, Venzo met Dian to give the agreed money of Rp. 200 million. However, Venzo asked for a 10 percent share or Rp. 20 million so that Dian received a net of Rp. 180 million.

Mulyono and Dian as the recipients are suspected of violating Articles 12 a and 12 b of Law Number 31 of 1999 and Article 606 paragraph (2) of Law Number 1 of 2026. Meanwhile, Venzo is suspected of violating Articles 605 and 606 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 2026.
