KPK Examines Rudy Hartono Iskandar Regarding Allegations of Land Corruption in Munjul

JAKARTA - Investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) have finished examining PT Aldira Berkah Abadi Makmur (ABAM) Director Rudy Hartono Iskandar (RHI), a suspect in alleged corruption in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta.

Even so, KPK has not made any arrests against Rudy because this is the first time the private sector has been investigated.

"Today the investigation concerned is in his capacity as a suspect for the first time", said KPK Spokesperson for Prevention, Ipi Maryati to reporters, Monday, July 12.

During the examination, she said KPK investigators explored a number of things. Including his relationship with the suspects from PT Adonara Propertindo, namely Tommy Ardian and Anja Runtuwene.

In addition, investigators also explored Rudy's role in the internal discussions of PT Adonara Propertindo in the land acquisition process in Munjul which later caused state losses of up to IDR 152 billion.

"In the examination, among others, investigators studied several things regarding the status of the suspect's relationship with PT AP and the alleged active role of the suspect RHI in internal discussions at PT AP regarding land acquisition in Munjul", said Ipi.

Meanwhile, after being investigated, Rudy did not convey anything to the media crew. He chose to remain silent and took a thousand steps.

It was previously reported that the KPK had named Rudy as a suspect on Monday, June 14. However, Rudy was not present at the time because he was sick and had sent a letter to the KPK.

Thus, investigators summoned Rudy again today or Monday, July 12 to be questioned at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

In this case, the KPK has named four suspects in this case, namely the Director and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo namely Tommy Adrian and Anja Runtuwene, former President 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 named PT Adonara Propertindo as a suspect in corporate corruption.

This case began when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD (Regionally-Owned Enterprises) 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 IDR 108.9 billion was made to Anja's bank account at Bank DKI. Next, on Yoory's orders, the payment was 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 completeness of the 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.
