Still Investigating Allegations Of Corruption In Land Procurement In Munjul, When Will The KPK Summon Anies Baswedan?

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is still investigating allegations of land acquisition corruption in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta in 2019. One of them is by summoning a number of witnesses and looking for evidence.

"Currently, the process of investigating this case is still being carried out by collecting evidence, both statements from witnesses and other evidence," said Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri when contacted by VOI, Monday, July 19.

Meanwhile, regarding the summoning of DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan as a witness, Ali could not confirm yet. This is because those who are summoned must be based on analysis and needs in the process of investigating allegations of corruption involving the Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles.

It's just that, Ali ensures that anyone will be called without exception. Moreover, if they know about the alleged homicide by the suspects.

"Anyone who is suspected of knowing the series of events in the case so that it becomes clearer about the alleged actions of the suspect in this case will definitely be called as a witness," he said.

"Furthermore, regarding the party that we will call as the next witness for the need to complete the proof of the case, further information will be given," Ali added.

Previously, the KPK confirmed that it would send a summons to the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan and Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi.

Both of them were summoned to be investigated for the alleged corruption case of land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta in 2019. Anies and Prasetyo's investigation is needed to clarify the alleged corruption that caused the state to lose up to Rp12.5 billion.

"Regarding the land acquisition program, of course, in the preparation of the DKI APBD budget program, the DKI Governor is very understanding as well as the DKI DPRD which has the task of authority to set the RAPBD into a APBD together with the DKI Regional Government," said KPK Chair Firli Bahuri.

"So of course it is necessary to ask for information so that it becomes clear," he added.

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 also named PT Adonara Propertindo as a suspect in corporate corruption.

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, 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.
