KPK has the opportunity to call Perry Warjiyo regarding the investigation of alleged corruption in CSR BI-OJK

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the opportunity to summon the former Governor of Bank Indonesia (BI) Perry Warjiyo in the alleged corruption of the Bank Indonesia Social Program (PSBI) or BI Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) is open. As long as the information is indeed needed by investigators.

This was conveyed by KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when asked about the follow-up to the handling of alleged corruption that dragged two members of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Satori and Heri Gunawan.

"The summoning of witnesses is of course based on the needs of investigators to obtain information from what they know," said Budi through his written statement, Tuesday, July 28.

Budi said the summons was based on the need for investigation to uncover criminal acts, not because someone had ended their term of office.

Perry officially resigned from his position as Governor of Bank Indonesia (BI) after writing to President Prabowo Subianto on Sunday, July 26.

"It is not necessarily because someone is retired from his position and then called to be questioned. For sure, let's follow the development together because the investigation is still ongoing," said Budi.

As a reminder, the anti-corruption commission had searched Perry Warjiyo's workspace in December 2024. From the forced attempt, investigators secured documents and electronic evidence related to the misuse of PSBI or CSR BI and Financial Services Authority (OJK) funds.

However, Perry has never been questioned in this case. The new summons was made by the anti-corruption commission against a number of high-ranking officials in the central bank environment.

As previously reported, the KPK officially announced that the NasDem Party Faction DPR legislator Satori and Heri Gunawan as DPR legislators of the Gerindra Party Faction as suspects of alleged corruption of BI-OJK CSR funds. Both are suspected of receiving gratification and committing money laundering (TPPU) but no arrests have been made.

Satori allegedly received 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 partners of Commission XI of the DPR.

The money is suspected to have been used for personal needs, such as deposits, land purchases, showroom construction, purchase of two-wheeled vehicles, and the purchase of other assets.

Meanwhile, Heri Gunawan received a total of Rp. 15.86 billion and used it for personal interests. The details are Rp. 6.26 billion from BI; Rp. 7.64 billion from OJK through Financial Counseling activities; and Rp. 1.94 billion from other working partners of Commission XI of the DPR.

The money was said by the KPK to be deposited in an account. Heri Gunawan then used it to build a restaurant, manage a beverage outlet, buy land and buildings, and four-wheel vehicles.
