JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) has named Benny Tjokrosaputro and Heru Hidayat as suspects in the crime of money laundering (TPPU). This determination is based on the results of the exposure after the two assets were confiscated by investigators.

"The parties named as suspects in the TPPU case this time are BTS and HH who have previously been named as suspects in the criminal case of financial management and investment fund corruption at PT. Asabri," said the Head of the Attorney General's Office of Legal Information, Leonard Eben Ezer Simanjuntak, as stated on Saturday, March 6.

Based on the results of the exposure carried out by the investigator and the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus), the evidence that has been obtained is considered sufficient to determine both of them as suspects.

Apart from that, from the original exposure, it was also found a series of non-criminal allegations that they had committed. Initially, this case occurred in the period 2012 to 2019. PT. Asabri (Persero) has made investment placements in the form of buying shares and mutual fund products to certain parties through a number of nominees affiliated with Benny Tjokro and Heru Hidayat without any fundamental analysis and technical analysis and made as a formality only.

Then, the President Director, Director of Investment and Finance, Head of the Investment Division as the officer in charge at PT. Asabri (Persero) actually collaborated with Benny Tjokro and Heru Hidayat in managing and placing PT. Asabri (Persero)'s investments in the form of shares and mutual fund products which is not accompanied by fundamental analysis and technical analysis.

As a result, the investment violated the provisions of the standard operating procedure (SOP) and the investment placement guidelines applicable to PT. Asabri (Persero).

"On the basis of this, there were illegal acts committed by the President Director, Director of Investment and Finance, Head of the Investment Division who approved the investment placement of PT. ASABRI (Persero) without going through fundamental analysis and technical analysis," said Leonard.

Placement of PT. Asabri (Persero) 's investment funds, which is only based on an analysis of mutual fund placements made on a formal basis, by Benny Tjokoro as Director of PT.

Eureka Prima Jakarta Tbk, SJS as Consultant, ES as a nominee, RL as President Commissioner of PT. Fundamental Resources and Beneficiary Owner and B as nominee Benny Tjokro for SUGI shares through the ES nominee resulted in irregularities in PT. Asabri's stock and mutual funds investment which resulted in a loss of IDR 23.73 trillion.

Therefore, BTS and HH as parties managing and causing state losses, in this case PT. Asabri (Persero), is designated as ML suspects by being subjected to articles of suspicion of violating Article 3 and/or Article 4 of Law U Number 8 of 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering.

"The team of investigating prosecutors will continue to pursue and take action against anyone involved in the case and will be asked to take responsibility for the actions that have been committed in the case," said Leonard.
