Boss Adonara Propertindo Suspect In Land Corruption Case In Munjul Returns IDR 10 Billion

JAKARTA - After being named a suspect and detained, the Director and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo, Tommy Adrian and Anja Runtuwene, returned the money to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

Both are suspects in the alleged corruption case in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta.

"The investigative team has received a refund of Rp 10 billion from AR and TA," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Setyo Budiyanto in a press conference broadcast on the Indonesian KPK YouTube, Monday, June 14.

In this case, the KPK has also named two other suspects, namely Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory Corneles and Director of PT Aldira Berkah Abadi Makmur (ABAM) Rudy Hartono Iskandar. In addition, the KPK has also named PT Adonara Propertindo as a suspect in corporate corruption.

KPK investigators found Anja's alleged use of money for personal gain. "Among other things, the purchase of land, the purchase of luxury vehicles. The investigation team will continue to investigate," said Setyo.

"Currently, maximum efforts will continue to be made in the context of asset recovery resulting from criminal acts of corruption," he added.

As previously reported, this case began when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD in the property sector, sought 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 the relevant 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.

As a result of the actions of the suspects, the KPK said the state had lost up to Rp. 152.5 billion from the land acquisition process.

For these actions, they 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.
