Land Corruption In Munjul, KPK Strengthens Evidence Of Problematic Procurement

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined two witnesses in the alleged corruption case in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta on Thursday, June 3.

The two witnesses were questioned for the suspect, former Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles. They are Plh BP BUMD for the 2019 period Riyadi and Senior Manager of the Land and Law Division of Perumda Sarana Jaya Development Yadi Robby.

The two witnesses were investigated for a number of things, including the planning and land acquisition process, which resulted in a loss of state finances of Rp. 152.5 billion.

"The witnesses' knowledge was studied, among others, related to the initial planning to the process of land acquisition by Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Ali Fikri told reporters, Friday, June 4.

As previously reported, the KPK has officially named the former Managing Director of the Regional Public Company (Perumda) Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory C Pinontoan along with two other suspects, namely Director of PT Adonara Propertindo Tomy Ardian and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo Anja Runtuwene. In addition, the KPK has also named a corporate suspect, namely PT Adonara Propertindo.

This case began when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD in the property sector, was looking for land in the Jakarta area to be used as a business unit or land bank.

Furthermore, the Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya collaborated with PT Adonara Propertindo which is also engaged in the same field.

From this collaboration, on April 8 2019, it was agreed to sign the Binding of the Sale and Purchase Agreement Deed before a notary which took place at the Perumda Sarana Jaya office. This signature was carried out between the buyers, namely Yoory and Anja Runtuwene.

At the same time, a payment of 50 percent or around Rp. 108.9 billion was made to Anja's bank account at Bank DKI. Next, on Yoory's orders, payments were made in the amount of IDR 43.5 billion.

However, in the land acquisition process, Perumda Sarana Jaya is suspected of committing fraudulent actions such as not conducting a study on the feasibility of the land object and not conducting an appraisal study without being supported by the complete requirements according to related regulations.

In addition, this BUMD company is also strongly suspected of carrying out the process and stages of land acquisition not according to procedures and there are documents that are prepared in a back date, as well as an initial price agreement between Anja and Perumda Sarana Jaya before the negotiation process is carried out.

For their actions, the suspects are suspected of violating Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
